[@wb7wbw-l2p]

Thanks!

[@TheSmokinApe]

Thank you!

[@Swamp-Fox]

I did not know how much I needed a set of calipers until I got one!

[@TheSmokinApe]

Haha, thanks for watching SF!

[@WG5Xradio]

The “F”, for fraction, is pretty handy when you are measuring things that come in fractions. (Drill bits, nuts, bolts, etc.)

[@TheSmokinApe]

Thanks man!

[@AndyAAzeroAM]

Fine video Ape. Reminds me I need a couple more. Garage, shack etc. always trying to find it

[@TheSmokinApe]

Thanks for watching Andy 👍

[@WJ6FRadio]

Excellent video! Never knew about the last one!

[@TheSmokinApe]

Thanks for checking it out Craig 👍

[@WECB640]

Good job Ape. The inexpensive version (I have one from Harbor F) is amazingly accurate for the price and fills the need for 99% of us who are not professional machinists.

[@TheSmokinApe]

I'd agree, thanks for watching Hollywood 👍

[@Thump2030]

Great video, I prefer the metal calipers with the wheel myself.

[@TheSmokinApe]

That’s seems to be the way

[@KK6USYHamRadioAdventures]

Nice Ape never knew that last one

[@TheSmokinApe]

Thanks for watching Chuck!

I store to silica packs in sealed bags, and when needed I can throw a few in computer on tablet carriers. Plus I use a few in the cases I store radio or electronic gear.

[@TheSmokinApe]

Thanks for the tip, I might have to try that out myself!

[@gregwmanning]

F is for fraction, Happy New Year

[@TheSmokinApe]

Thanks and same to you!

Digital Calipers are great to have in your toolbox. Recommend metal ones, not plastic or composite. The tips last longer and don’t flex.

[@TheSmokinApe]

Yeah, I'd agree metal is better.

[@timel64]

@ are you going to demonstrate the Vernier style? I grew up on those. Like using a slide rule got to have eyes.

[@TheSmokinApe]

@ I wasn’t planning to

[@Siskiyous6]

I stopped using any that required batteries. Dillion had a good price on my go to pair of dial calipers. A daily driver tool in my shop.

[@TheSmokinApe]

Nice

[@LeeMcc_KI5YPR]

My calipers are from Dillon Precision and have been in use almost 30 years. I cannot imagine using plastic calipers.

[@TheSmokinApe]

I'm not really doing anything "high precision"

[@ac0m-glennthompson432]

Iuse calipers all the time reloading my ammo, great devices.

[@TheSmokinApe]

Thanks for watching!

[@withgrowinginsanity198]

the little screwdriver simply opens the battery compartment. p.s. should you have a UNheated garage... the battery will be discharged each time you need it 😢 in my case: every 8 months for car repairs, so I got a simple (battery free) version

[@TheSmokinApe]

It wi be in a semi heated ham shack 😮

[@larryd1296]

If you need instructions on how to use calipers, you should not be using them!

[@TheSmokinApe]

@@larryd1296 this is quite a turn of events, usually the peanut gallery is telling folks to read the manual 🤷
