Just saw this. I find digital calipers to be worthless (especially is working with and around liquids) and much prefer a good set of dial calipers. Starrett or Mitutoyo are the best. Brown and Sharpe 3rd. You will never get as good a reading with calipers as you will with a micrometer, whether it be inside mic or outside mic. Calipers are usually a ballpark measurement tool. By ballpark I mean +-.002
