You need to consider the battery issue: the device consumes battery even when it is turned off (similar to other calipers).
Although the battery has a high voltage - 3V, it is recommended to remove the battery when the device is not in daily use.
Compared to mitutoyo, the ampere consumption per hour in this device is 4 times higher than
Mitutoyo.
Despite all this, it does not affect the measurement quality of the device.
I didn't actually expect to use it much so soon after purchasing it, but having opted to start design of a PCB yesterday, partially based off something pre-existing and available components, I've used it extensively already measuring various features and parts, and have been quite impressed overall.
So first things first: The case is quite nice with an easy to release latch. The hinges aren't part of the molding, but are made from a different material which presumably is something with low fatiguing properties and glued in place on each of the case halves. There is protective foam on both sides, as well as a foam cutout which snugly holds the caliper in place. A minor annoyance is that the cutout isn't glued in place, so I often partially pull it out when removing the tool. Not a big deal as I can glue it in place, but it would be nice if the manufacturer did. I wouldn't expect the case to hold up to too much abuse, but precision tools should always be handled carefully anyway.
The tool itself is quite nice overall. Perhaps not at the level of refinement of the Mitutoyo standard-bearer, but performance is good. It holds its relative position and tracks very well. Closing the jaws after various measurements, it always ends up back at 0 exactly. They're also quite sturdy because I can't force the jaws closed enough to drop below zero. The display is very large and super easy to read. I haven't used it yet, but I do appreciate the inclusion of the fractional inch mode.
There are two minor complaints as far as the caliper goes, and one of them is the thumbwheel. It's a bit sloppy and loose which is most notable during engagement, where rather than engaging the bar in between the two wheel ends, it actually makes contact with one of the wheel ends and then sloppily pops into place. It's not a deal breaker by any means, but it is an example of a lack of refinement, and something that I doubt would have any noticeable affect on manufacturing price if it was improved. The other thing is the depth rod, its groove, and retaining screw. The tolerances here seem a bit unnecessarily excessive, so the rod can wiggle around quite a bit when extended. Again, not a deal breaker, but there is room for improvement for what is otherwise quite an impressive tool at a fair price.
If my livelihood or hobby depended on frequent usage of a caliper, I'd probably go with a Mitutoyo, but for personal and intermittent use the EZ Cal fits the bill very well, and leaves enough money left over in my pocket to spend on some other types of tools.
One thing. At first, I thought I had to use the thumb wheel to slide the calipers up and down. My friend had to show me that you just hold the trunk (the part with the display) and slide it down the shaft. The wheel is only for fine tuning. I especially like the "zero" button, to reset the caliper, if you need to set it at zero when the jaws are at a known distance, and you want to measure from there. For something so cheap it really works. If you must spend $200, get something better, but then you wouldn't be reading this, would you? I saw some complaints about this unit in earlier reviews (before I bought mine). I dunno what their problem was. If they are working for NASA they really should not be buying $20 calipers. For the rest of us, this thing DOES WORK. I can testify to that. It even comes with an extra battery. The guys who make this really want you to be happy with their product. I know, I have ordered TONS of stuff online, and I can tell when a company goes the extra mile--and when they do not.
Anyway, thanks for reading this. I hope it helped. I will answer any questions I can.

90% the feel and performance of the reputable mitu's
well under 50% of the price.
100% my go-to for home and hobby use.
Si buscas un vernier confiable, preciso, robusto (construcción de acero templado REAL), a un precio super accesible, no busques más. ¡Lo has encontrado!
-------------------------
LO BUENO:
• Confiable: La medida es siempre la misma sin importar si mueves el cabezal rápido en el cuerpo.
• Material: Esta echo de acero templado. ¡Todo! Las mandíbulas, el cuerpo, la escala de profundidad, bueno el display es de plástico, pero es normal.
• Acabados: El maquinado es de muy buena calidad, no es perfecto pues tiene algunos bordes afilados donde no debería. No son bordes que te pudieran cortar ni nada como eso, pero si podrían dañar tu superficie de trabajo si es por ejemplo de madera y lo arrastras sobre ella.
• Robusto: ¡Nada se mueve sin que tu intervengas! Las mandíbulas no se mueven de un lado a otro como en los vernieres chinos. De igual manera, si fijas la mandíbula a cierta medida con el tornillo de bloqueo, no se moverá.
• Legibilidad: El display es grande, y tiene muy buen contraste.
• Escalas: Medidas en milimetros, pulgadas decimal y pulgadas fraccional.
• Batería: Usa pilas CR2032, que no sólo suelen durar más que las típicas baterías super pequeñas que usan otros vernieres, sino que al menos para mí son mucho más fáciles de adquirir. (además incluye 2)
• Precio: Por alrededor de 650 pesos (30usd) no hay ningún otro vernier que pueda competir con la calidad de este. Al menos yo no lo he encontrado (y estuve buscando por más de 8 meses).
• Extras: Incluye un par de baterías además de un estuche de plástico duro (se ve bastante más resistente que donde vienen los otros chinos) con espuma recortada a medida para conservar el dispositivo. Se agradece que no sea el estuche genérico de todos los demás.
LO MALO:
• Es muy difícil ponerle peros a este vernier, pero si no considerara que cuesta 1/4 de un mitutoyo económico podría pedir que la rueda del pulgar tuviera menos juego, y tal vez que las mandíbulas superiores (para mediciones internas) fueran un poco menos afiladas.

Einziger Kritikpunkt: Das Batteriefach schließt bei dem vorliegenden Gerät nicht so stramm wie es sollte. Das ist vermultich nicht bei jedem Gerät so, aber auf einen Tausch habe ich wegen der hohen Versandkosten verzichtet.
Note for others: if like me it is not used for longer periods do close the jaws AND lock (firm but not over-tight) the slider when stored.
Ive read the reviews before buying it, and they said it was a good unit, with the above test i can confirm it appears good. Very easy to read display.
