I'm a propeller technician by trade and am frequently using micrometers to measure parts for propellers. I am also an amateur machinist with aspirations of adding some more precision to my hobby. Micrometers are expensive though! So when I found this set of six for $150, I figured I'd check it out. Especially because I've used Accusize for dial calipers in the past and was very pleased. Is $150 for a set of six micrometers too good to be true? Not exactly. Let me explain.The micrometers themselves are comparable to other less expensive precision measurement equipment I've used. The 0-1" mic actually is very similar to one I have from Mac tools and I got within 0.0001" reading when comparing the two. I haven't had an opportunity to properly test the accuracy of the others, but they seem to read fine on my gauge blocks (which are not calibrated) and I'd be surprised if any of them fail accuracy within +/- 0.0001".What these lack that higher end, more expensive tools do not is consistency, especially in the ratchet mechanism. The purpose of the ratchet on the end is to give consistent pressure when taking a measurement for the purpose of repeatability. When going between each micrometer, the pressure at which the ratchet engages feels different to me. If you're a beginner just learning how to use these tools, this is something to keep in mind as staying consistent may be difficult until you get the feel for how much to tighten the mic on whatever you're measuring.The standards included work well enough. I used my gauge blocks to zero each micrometer and when I put the standard in to verify it was at zero each one was. However, I found it difficult to use the standards themselves to set zero on the micrometer. It's possible this would be easier to do with some kind of micrometer stand, to ensure the standard doesn't get crooked between the anvils. I don't personally see this as too much of an issue, once set to zero, the micrometers should be fine for a while depending on the work you do (we re-calibrate ours annually at work).The one serious complaint I have about this set is that the box is rather disappointing. It's made from a cheaper wood that doesn't seem very durable. There are some rough edges on the inside. I also had some difficult taking some of the larger micrometers in and out. The foam isn't glued down very well and can get in the way of the tools.For the price, none of the problems I've had with this set bothers me. While some of them would be unacceptable in a more expensive product, I keep reminding myself that I paid something like a fifth of what a higher end set would cost me. They function well and appear to be accurate. I'm willing to put up with a few quirks for the price. For my purposes I think they will work fine in my machining hobby and may be acceptable for measuring propeller parts (I'll update after I've spent some time with them).In short, if you're looking for an affordable set of micrometers for hobby work, this set is for you. If you're looking to tear down engines or propellers or do professional work with this set, they might do well for you, but you may also be better off getting a higher end set. You get what you pay for and in the case of these micrometers, you get a decent set of tools, with some acceptable standards, and a functional box to store it all.

Great measuring tools!! Really accurate!! Great quality and awesome for the price!! They are an exact match to my co-workers KAR tool set.

I have only unboxed, however my initial impressions are these are exactly what I needed. Just a basic set of micrometers, the quality feels decent. Although I have not tested them on a known item I wager they are close enough for HD mechanical work. I would say they are certainly a good buy. The case they come in is a little low quality, looks like it was put together by a grade 10 wood working class; however I wager it will hold together for years. I would have gave them 5 stars, however the case is a little sloppy. I guess one could say the micrometers are 5 stars when considering quality and price, and the case is 2 stars.I purchased these mid day on 2018/02/20, they arrived before 11am 2018/02/21... Nothing gets processed and shipped that fast to my ares; EVER. I am majorly impressed.

My daughter is a machinist apprentice so these were a great starter kit for her. "Weight and size are great but the anvils are a little long making it hard to get into small places."

I received them in the mail today. Opened them up to check and calibrate them. Now I'm not a machinest and don't have alot of experience with micrometers.They seem to be of good build quality the adjuster moves smoothly. Ratchet and locks all work well and are set up good. I checked them against the gauge that is included and they were all on and was able to get repeatable results. They I can feal when they tips contact and it feels solid. I'm confident they will work for the limited use I have. I am a home mechanic and need them for measurements on motors. The vernier scale is nice.
