PEC 12” Electronic Caliper

PEC manufactures top-of-the-line calipers that help you transfer precise measurements for tight-fitting, accurate joints. These calipers have inside jaws, outside jaws, and a depth gauge. Readouts can be displayed to .0005”, .01mm, or 1/64th fractions. The calipers are made of stainless steel and feature a locking nut to set your measurements. Each caliper comes with a spare battery and a fitted case.  Jonathan’s Hot Take: Wait…What?!? A 12” set of calipers? I remember when I got my first set of 12” calipers, Holy smoke I was in heaven. They do everything a 6” does but twice as much (duh). I love mine and they really come in handy for bigger items. For the woodworker who has everything this is the perfect addition to any shop. Plus for this price and accuracy you can’t beat them. Next to the square, calipers are probably my most used measuring tool. They are your best friend for transferring measurements. Take the width of a tenon, and transfer it to a second board to cut your mortise. And that’s just getting started. Check out this video for all the ways I use my calipers. The stated tolerance on these are better or equal to the higher priced calipers from Starret or Mitutoyo and accurate from 0-4” at .02mm/.001”and accurate to .03mm/.0015” up to 12” . These really are a screaming deal and a must have for the serious woodworker. Oh, and here’s a tip—if the screen starts flashing, it’s time for a battery change. It should last you a long time, but PEC has you covered with an extra battery so you’re not left stranded.
