Looking for a good digital vernier caliper
Looking to upgrade to a digital vernier caliper, can you recommend one?
Needs to be smooth when slid, accurate, measure up to 5-6 inches, choice of metric and imperial reading, measure internal and external and I would prefer it to have a protective case. It will get used where there are all sorts of fluids, oil, cutting agents, mentholated spirit. Any other things it should have? No idea on how much money, I don't need a Rolls Royce a Mercedes will do but I would look at a Ford if you get my drift. I think a member here has this one or at least this make. No idea where this sits in the quality range https://www.lawson-his.co.uk/mitutoy...8aAuZAEALw_wcB macafee2 |

Have a look at Mitutoyo, I have used them for years.
Just clicked on your link... That will do you a treat.

I have Moore and Wright, and believe it or not the Mitutoyo is also made in the UK. It's certainly better than the tat I've seen some people use.......in fact I used mine yesterday, perhaps it was the picture of the brake pipe measuring you saw |

Where does that fit in the quality range? If you use it then I take it it is quality. macafee2 |

I've just ordered a Mitutoyo and it looks to come with a carry case.
I do like precision tools and electrical tools to have carry cases, not just cardboard boxes that some seem to come in. thank you for the advice macafee2 |
