Yeah I got hooked on them rather than using a micrometer when a chap who makes spacers came to measure up while I watched. It was the first spacer he had ever made for a Jeep Cherokee. The Mitutoyo do have a good rep. I have decided to get a dial one but it's not a Mitutoyo. I can see it might need a little more mental work to take a reading but hopefully as there are no electronics involved it might be more of a reliable service item.

Don't get me wrong I have and frequently use a cheap digital caliper but if it actually matters then I revertto my mitutoyo vernier caliper or as necessary my mitutoyo micrometers. Horses for courses.
