They come on sale at Canadian Tire, usually for a really good price. Not what I'd call top quality but plenty accrurate for reloading purposes. I've been using them for a few years with no issues
What do you guys recommend for a good quality digital caliper? I don't want to break the bank, but want to avoid cheap stuff. How high do you have to go to get to really good quality?
Best buy is imo iGaging Absolute Origin

That's interesting. Can you explain what a 1-2-3 gauge block is? I'm assuming that it is a device for checking the accuracy of your measuring instruments, but that's just a guess. How does it work, and is this the best reference standard for a caliper or micrometer?I've worked in the metrology biz for a long time. I have 2 canadian tire calipers and a 1-2-3 gauge block. One caliper isn't so good, the other is dead nuts. Expensive calipers are definitely nicer to use but are not necessarily more accurate. As with ANY measurement device- you need to check it against a known reference regularly. Even the most expensive measurement devices can go bad.
