Unfortunately, counterfeit Mitutoyo products are commonly listed on marketplaces such as eBay, often at prices too good to be true. Here’s how to identify a fake:
Packaging: Genuine products come in branded Mitutoyo cases with proper labelling and documentation.
Markings: Authentic Mitutoyo calipers will have clean, precise laser-etched markings — fakes often have blurred or inconsistent fonts.
Serial Numbers: Real Mitutoyo items have verifiable serial numbers; fake ones may lack them or show poorly engraved imitations.
Build Quality: Counterfeits may feel lighter, have rough slider movement, or plastic components in place of stainless steel.
Source: Be wary of sellers not listed as official distributors — even if the product looks authentic.
