What is the best calipers to use?

First😊. Dial callipers for me. Easy to read and understand. No battery to run down and with a whole dial turn representing just 1mm, a single digit can go down to 1/100 mm….astonishing! Pay a reasonable amount for quality, mine were 50, but top grade are like 200. Goes without saying…never drop them and never let kids or unknowledgeable people mess with them.

Yep, the dial version is a happy median between electric and vernier-type calipers.

I like a dial caliper, but a vernier caliper is not that difficult once you get used to it. By the way, real men use inches, not millimeters. LOL
