The 141ME is a little Swiss-built caliper, made of FRN. They can be a bit stiff when new. I used some dry Teflon film & it broke it nicely.
The yellow helps you keep track of it, & the FRN is strong, stiff, & lightweight.
The markings are fairly good, though not as precise as a Starrett or Mitutoyo. But Mitutoyo doesn’t seem to make a pocket caliper and the fantastic Starrett 1025 Series are about 25x more money.
I have an older, US-made General 132ME pocket caliper, & frankly, it feels like a toy. The stamped metal is too thin for real accuracy, & I’m sure it would bend if you kept it in your pocket over time.
So, for the price, the 141ME is tough to beat. It’s accurate enough for field measurements & DIY, it’s really sturdy, easy to read & lightweight.
Things I like: It's light; easily visible when you drop it; small enough to fit your pocket; durable; easy to read numbers; and numbers don't rub off.
Overall...a great little tool and you can't beat the price!
I don't really need a digital (and expensive!) caliper to measure the various PVC pipe and other items that I work with.
when working it will fit in your shirt pocket. Made of fiberglass and is sturdy for any use. It has both inches and mm scales and inside and outside markers.
a good price for a toolbox essential!

It is not a high precision caliper for measuring to thousands of an inch, but it is good to 1/32 of an inch or 1/10 of a millimeter for measuring outside and inside diameters, it fits easily in a pocket and it is rust proof too.
