So which ones do you use?
/\ this statement pretty much sums up my experience and feelings. /\............ I find that for the money the dial calipers are hard to beat. I bought a set of their digital calipers, but the battery does not last and seems to always be dead when I want to use it. ..........
Any caliper or mic should be checked against a standard.
As long as they are not damaged, vernier calipers (and a eye or head loupe) are the gold standard when it comes to calipers.I learned on my father's Vernier scale caliper.
