[QUOTE="Susquatch, post: 1571950, member: 31264"] I respectfully disagree. Although Starrett is a top notch brand, I have had two in my lifetime that lied as they aged. The problem with most dial calipers is hysteresis in the dial drive gears such that measurements are not 100% repeatable. The Starrett and Mitsutoyo are both excellent and far less prone to this issue but I have seen it happen. Verniers are the only caliper that cannot and do not ever lie. Nonetheless, my goto calipers are Starrett dial calipers......;) the only time I revert back to Verniers (or a mechanical Micrometer of the appropriate length) is when I have some reason to suspect something is fishy about my readings. I NEVER use digital anymore. It's so easy to be lured into trusting them and then they bite you! [/QUOTE]
