Not sure how good they are but the Princess Auto flyer just got here and they have digital calipers on sale for $9.99. 50% off.

Thanks for the heads up.

I bought some a full price (of course) and they are great. The only thing is they are accurate to only .01 of an inch. ie. my dial one would read 1.115 but the digital reads 1.11. Hope this is close enough as it is a lot easier than the dial calipers I have.

Busy Bee Calipers

I got some similar calipers from Busy Bee for a similar price. I checked them against my Starrett reference lengths and the calipers were spot on. I think most of them come from the same chinese factory, but with a different label.

.01 inch? Not good for measuring brass or COAL then. Better get one at Canadian Tire for 14.95

What's hard about dial calipers? I must be missing something. Even the Layman stainless steel dial caliper only takes a couple seconds (if that) to measure to 0.001(5) for most applications. And you can buy that for less than 30 bucks.

Not really hard, just a lot easier with the digital.

I bought some last year for a small job at work, the batteries die quick...

I bought two last year (in May I think) when CanTire had them on sale for $15. Still using the original battery.

I bought a pair of those last spring, pitched em in the trash last week, never gave the same reading twice. Save your money

Crappy tire usually has them on sale from time to time for the same price. Better quality as well.
