JDucros Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I'm not TOO worried about this but I am curious. I recently purchased the Dillon dial calipers from BrianEnos.com along with their 9mm case gauge and Brian's digital scale. As usual shipping from both Brian and Dillon was lightening fast! I have a friend who uses only Dillon products on his bench and the Dillon calipers he purchased has the Dillon Precision logo on the face of the calipers. The calipers Dillon sent me do not have their logo on them and look exactly like the bargain priced calipers from Amazon.com. Not only that but nowhere on the calipers do they say Dillon or have any markings other than the numbers and hash marks. The two reasons I am concerned with this is 1) I want to make sure these are the actual Dillon calipers and that's how they are shipping them nowadays and 2)in the future should I fall on hard times(knock on wood) I'd like to be able to sell my reloading equipment for emergency cash and fear that I might not get very much for the calipers without the Dillon logo on them. Anyone have any thoughts? Cheers, -James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concrete guy Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 I wouldn't worry about the Dillon calipers. I doubt they are of Starret or Brown &Sharpe quality even with the "Dillon" name on them. They pump out calipers like toothpicks anymore and put anybodies name on them. They will be fine and won't be a deal breaker if you have to resell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDucros Posted December 3, 2010 Author Share Posted December 3, 2010 Thanks for the input fellas. I've been using them for a few days now and they work great which is what really matters after all. Cheers, -James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Heiter Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 I bought an "I'll just use these for now until they break" pair from Harbor Freight about 10 years ago. I'm still using them. They're pretty cheap as is ($20) and you can occasionally find them for half off that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gohuskers Posted December 3, 2010 Share Posted December 3, 2010 Got a pair of the harbor freight ones as well and love 'em. I also have a pair of the cabela's dial calipers for a back-up, so to speak. Calipers are calipers... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
