Dial caliper rec

Post by spyder »

Looking for a quality dial caliper. How is the Starrett for around $100 or do I need to look elsewhere? Thanks.

they have a good reputation

Mitutoyo also seem to have a strong following -

my Dad was an engineer early in his career and liked starrett, i have a few of his measuring tools and a couple digital Mitutoyos
