Remember, if you need to measure to the thousandth , then you do not need something that is “close” it needs to be right on the money everytime. So IF that is your goal, Then do not go with a knock -off. Stay with Mitutoyo, or if you can a Starrett. As for me , I have a cheepie , to do knock around work , and a Starrett for the lathe and milling. Also know that a caliper is not the tool of choice for all precision measurements .A micrometer, snap guages , depth Mics , a good set of feeler guages , I could go on and on. I like stuff without a battery when possible , but the digital ones are easier on these old eyes. I guess the point of all this is they all have pluses and minuses .
