**Do Not Feed The Vegan**,
Hey all!
I'm interested in picking up a pair of Digital Calipers & a thread guage.
(1) First, digital calipers:
-Brands considered: Mitutoyo, Brown & Sharpe, or Starrett. I like that Starrett is Made in USA, so I'm leaning toward them. (I don't think Mitutoyo or B&S are made in USA?)
-It would be for light-duty use - I don't need super-heavy duty tools, but I like to own quality tools.
-Size: 6 or 8 inches. Since I like smaller lights, I think 6" would probably work.
-Digital is preferred, but is it THAT much more accurate?
-Price limit... well, I don't want to bust my bank account, but it's not super important.
(2) The a thread guage:
-I haven't found a lot of info on these, but it seems they're expensive and somewhat complicated.
-Preferred, again Made in USA.
Anyways, if you guys would share your thoughts, as well as Model Numbers and Where to get (websites), that would be awesome.
Thanks a lot!
