How is the quality of the caliper/micrometer set at Costco? Sorry if this
has already been answered but I just got online from a computer crash last
Wednesday. Point me to the right post.
Thanks

What are some features to look for in a micrometer or caliper? Are the
ones
at Harbor Freight worth considering? I have a $20 micrometer from Sears,
but I think it may not be too accurate. I am looking to mainly measure
items that are .1mm - .3mm in thickness (weekly use), but sometimes stuff
that is larger (monthly or yearly). I wouldn't need to measure anything
larger than 3"/75ish mm. I saw a 3 piece kit at Harbor Freight that has a
0-25mm micrometer, 25 - 50mm micrometer and 50 - 75 mm micrometer. Has
anyone seen that one?

What makes a Starett/Mitutuyo/etc. brand so much more better (expensive
too)?

Thank you.
