[Shop-talk] Micrometers

[eric at megageek.com]

Actually, I misspoke.  I need Electronic Calipers, no a micrometer.

Here is the problem, I'm seeing plenty of these for my price range.  But 
all of them seem to be built exactly the same (the inside teeth are fixed 
to the outside teeth.)  This means that if the set isn't perfect when you 
get them, there is no way to adjust them.  (This is the problem I have 
with my current set.)

SO, I'm back to my original question, but with the caveat of "is there a 
way to know if they are REAL quality before you buy and ship them to your 
house?"  Or is this the type of item you have to buy in person, say at a 
Sears or even a HF store?

Harbor Freight - micrometers and calipers - digital or regular - cheap, 
and 
they seem as accurate as my old Starrett and B&S mikes.
