Calipers

Been using Mitutoyo dial calipers for 30 years.

Never fully trusted digital calipers.

Mititoyo makes good stuff, use with confidence.

And if youre into self torment, get a veneer caliper and learn how to use it. A little bit of a learning curve but once you do, its fairly intuitive and always 100% accurate. Its really the better way for a caliper to be made. Also no worry of anyone ever stealing it!

We might be 2 of the VERY FEW people here who ACTUALLY know how to use one of those. lol

I have one thats about 4 feet long. I like teaching people how to use them. When we hire a new engineer its one of the first things I do. Great indicator of what kind of brain they have sloshing around in their heads.

On a related note, I learned how to use a vernier micrometer. The only issue is having to constantly turn the thing to see the entire vernier scale.

I now want a digital micrometer!
