Digital Caliper
Although I own two dial type calipers alreday, I'm looking for a digital one now. Any recommendations? So many of the once standard makes made in the US are now made overseas. I looked at the "General" sold at Home Depot but the LCD display was difficult to read. My eye sight is only getting worse unfortunately.

Harbor Freight ... $17.99 including a spare battery.

Occasionally, they go on sale for $12.99. Watch the sale ads IF it matters to you.

Ditto Harbor Freight
And they have different sizes that may be easier for you to read.

Hi,
We have the 6", it's more the norm, I guess, but the 4" would work.... and, btw, David (Van Burgel) - my husband - says that unless you're planning on making ferrules or like good tools, you really don't NEED a Mitutoyo - grin
That said, he has one - bigger grin.
I actually own a Starrett, but mine burns through batteries faster than David's Mitutoyo, in his opinion.

I use a 6", I looked at the 4" too but for only a $10 difference I went with the 6".

HostRay: Penntool.com is the place and Mitutoyo 6" is the way to go!
Much thanks to all

I"ve used a $30 version and it works just fine, although I'm satisfied with to within .010 for what I do. If you notice the working portion of all of these are virtually identical and in fact might be. Mine is a dead ringer to the expensive one in every way I can tell.
