MEC 1311079 Digital Caliper 6-Inch Stainless Steel Precision Tool

The MEC 1311079 Digital Caliper delivers laboratory-grade precision for reloaders, gunsmiths, and precision shooters who demand accurate measurements down to 0.0005 inches. This professional-grade measuring instrument eliminates guesswork in critical applications where dimensional accuracy directly impacts performance and safety.

What Makes This Different

Unlike basic hardware store calipers, the MEC 1311079 features a hardened stainless steel construction with precision-ground measuring surfaces that maintain accuracy through thousands of measurements. The large LCD display remains clearly visible in low-light workshop conditions, while the zero-reset function allows instant comparative measurements without mathematical calculations. Advanced users appreciate the data hold feature that locks readings for transfer to loading logs.

Key Features

• 0.0005-inch resolution with ±0.001-inch accuracy across full 6-inch range
• Hardened stainless steel construction resists corrosion and wear
• Large LCD display with automatic shut-off conserves battery life
• Instant metric/imperial conversion at button press
• Zero-reset function for differential measurements
• Data hold feature locks measurements for recording
• Smooth rack and pinion movement with positive jaw alignment

Reloaders rely on this caliper for measuring case length, bullet diameter, and overall cartridge length to ensure consistent ammunition performance. Gunsmiths use it for headspace verification, chamber measurements, and custom fitting applications. The tool excels in temperature-stable environments where precision matters most, maintaining accuracy whether measuring brass thickness or verifying component dimensions.
