[QUOTE="boomtube, post: 686567, member: 9215"] If we allow a dial caliper's exposed rack gear to get 'dirty' it will clog the pinon gear in the dial mechanism and forcing it will damage the gears for sure. I use compressed air to blow out the gear from time to time. Don't think that's unique to Chinese calipers tho. In fact the only ones I know of that are immune to clogging-jamming are the original precision calipers with vernier scales and the various digitals. I love my old Swiss made 6" vernier calipers, they're very accurate and tuff but my eyes can't handle the tiny calibration lines anymore. [/QUOTE]
