Nice I could use a pair of good calipers

Whoa! Thanks a bunch! Been needing a good pair for a while, but hadn't wanted to pay over $100 for one.

Better deal on calipers - on sale at harbor freight
http://www.harborfreight.com/6-inch-dig ... 47257.html
they go on sale often so if you dotn catch this deal there will be another.

The ones from harbor freight are ok but the quality of the iGaging are on a different level completely I wouldn't trade them for any other brand I've used.

I have a Mitutoyo I spent so good $$$ on years ago and it's been worth every penny. I Recently bought one of the HF ones just to use at work for rough dimensions but man are they gritty as hell and not very accurate.... not worth the $20 I spent. Just remember when it comes to tools..... You get what you pay for.

Harbor Freight: The Home of Single-Use Tools

I have found these to be accurate and cheaply priced.

man I am just waiting for this thread to honeypot some new-registration spammers


I use the Harbor Freight ones, although I think I got them free with a big order from vxb.com. It goes through batteries constantly

This is an entertaining, if irreverent, review of cheap Chinese calipers vs Mitutoyo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvszAb0Y0Ec
