4 and 6 Fractional Digital Calipers

When it comes to measuring stock, fitting precise joints and setting up machines, a digital caliper is one of the handiest tools to have around.

Best of all, you can switch from fractions to decimals to millimeters with just the push of a button. Ultra-smooth sliding action allows you to dial in your setting quickly, then lock it down with the knurled knob. Measure inside, outside, depth and steps. Both calipers include a pre-installed battery, a spare battery and a padded plastic case. Aside from length, the 4 and 6 models are identical.
