[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 750097, member: 25383"] I have the next one better than that one, and B&S calipers are pretty good. I think that one and mine use the same encoder package, but mine reads out to one tenth (not needed here). I think you'd be fine with them. Some Brown & Sharpes come with an additional plug on the side to hook into a storage device (mine does), and when used right this is a nice addition. You simply setup the zero on a nominal number your after and it'll store all the variations you measure. The Stoney Point gauges are a little on the long side, and your probably right about the 4" not being long enough. For what it's worth, I hate the Starrett analog calipers (dial type). They're just a pain to reset the zero to the 12 oclock position. The Mitutoyos are the easiest, and you can do it in about a minute. That's one single advantage the digital ones have over the others as you can reset the zero very easilly. I find that I grab a pair of Starretts (digital) for use most of the time. Mostly because they're close by. But the B&S to me are just as good. gary [/QUOTE]
