By the way, has anyone tried this caliper?

There seems to be a typo in the purported accuracy. I would have thought
that 0.001 inch would be 0.001*25.4 mm=0.02 mm. If it is 0.2 mm, that
would be lousy accuracy


The description says:
"Accuracy: +/- 0.001'' (0.2 mm), Resolution: 0.01'', "

How can something be accurate to 1 mil when the resolution is 10 mil?


The wonders of modern marketing.
