Harbor Freight

This weekend Harbor Freight is having a tent sale. One of the things on sale is a 6" Digital Caliper SKU # 47257 for $9.99. Is this caliper worth buying? Also, while I'm there I want to pick up a punch set. Do I want the 5 piece long pin punch set?

Thanks, Bob

I agree on the digital caliper. Decimal inches and mm. Also buy replacement batteries.
I have the 5 piece punch set and have not needed any other sizes.

If you are going to do PR and they have the sonic cleaner with heater you might as well pick that up while you are there if it is less than $60.00

My $.03.

Don't forget your 20% off coupon and the "Free" flashlight. Get this every time I go

Don't worry about absolute accuracy with that caliper. You want repeatability of the numbers, and mine is great. I love it, bought it when it was $7.99 IIRC. I still use manual calipers a lot, but that little digital job is #1.
