Reply To: Questions about digital calipers

[kerry]

I’ve used Mitutoyo 6″ digital calipers for years at the factory I work at. I’ve had my current set for around 15 or so years, because my old one didn’t survive a drop from six feet. My fault. I wipe it down with a lens cleaning moist towelette once a week (my hands get dirty) and keep a spare SR44/357 battery handy. As accurate as a mike? No. Its a good snapshot that works faster. I can check multiple things in the time it takes to check one with a mike, and keep a mike handy if something “flags” near or out of my comfort zone.

If you have too many, AND not enough, you're a collector.
