Hi Folks:
I dropped mine for the 10th time. They still serve as calipers, but no read-out. I bought them from one of our vendors for about $30 and they served me well (to a thousandth of a inch/mm). I see fraction/digital calipers sold for 20 to $150. There has to be difference or at least perceived difference. Anyway, I live among 3 or 4 retailers and do rely on the read-out. Any recommendation? Otherwise..another $30 one will serve its purpose just fine. I can also wait and but mail-order.
