[QUOTE="ntsqd, post: 1976392, member: 93138"] Apologies, I wasn't cautioning you specifically but all readers in general. It is a common mistake to make in assuming that the tool's accuracy is equal to it's display. I see the 4th place as the round-off direction indicator. I prefer the all digits display because I like to know how close or far away the round-off is from what the tool is measuring. However, being somewhat dyslexic I sometimes "move" the decimal point in my head and get a totally bogus result. Unless it comes sealed in the Mitutoyo packaging and has the certs with it I'm dubious of ebay sourced measuring tools. I'm sure that good deal are out there just as I am far more sure that there are many, many fakes. [/QUOTE]
