Check out the Mitutoyo 500-196-20
Its a metric spec unit, but goes between both inches and mm with the push of a button. Its much cheaper than the Inch spec version.
By functuon, they work the same.
I have been using calipers of all types for 30 years. You cant go wrong with a ser of Mitutoyo’s and they will last. Elcheapos typically fail from the battery terminals disintegrating.
I believe there is a seller on Ebay that has them listed for 45$ with free shipping.
Good luck!
