I bent my Mit Absolute and needed a good replacement. The feel of this this thing is solid with no play. It's also dead on accurate. If you hold the two in you hand the Origin cal feels every bit solid and well built. There is no jiggle or play with unit. The battery holder is much better than the Mit and my old Mit depth attachment fit like a charm. I'd place this head to head with the Mit any day. For $5 more than the standard unit you can get a depth gauge that comes in handy. The ONLY negatives are that there is no Auto-Off. I've put in the case more than a few times just to find it still on at next use. 2032 flat-batts are cheap these days but it would be nice to save some battery life. The second is the while the data logging cable is Mit compatible it's just as expensive. The data cord at $80 cost more than the caliper itself so opted away from buying it.Read full review

The main issue with the caliper is that the rule of the caliper sits loose in the guides of the slide. Thus, you end up with a .002 to .004 in accuracy. It did repeat to zero, but then the blades meet and prevent it from wobbling. Mine also came with the battery that was in it dead. When I happened to open the case to check one other thing, the unit was turned on. Thus, the case was turning on the unit. The finish on the caliper was very nice. It's just that the unit is not usable do to the looseness of the fit of the parts. So, I gave it a 2 for the finish?

There are the $150+ models, too high to bash around the hobbiest shop. And there are the $15 cheap models from China. While they are usually quite accurate, they are poorly made. This one strikes the right balance between price and performance. It's a USA team managing Chinese manufacturing and QC. The result is excellent. Nice LR44 battery and cover too.

Started out reloading using a set of harbor frieght calipers. There's a huge difference between these and the harbor frieght ones. If you are on a budget I recommend buying these. They are an exceptional value for the money!

There is no comparison between these calipers and some I got at Lowe's for the same price. The iGaging are a steal for $40. Don't waste your time or money on other brands.
