Default Mini Review - Grizzly (ShopFox) Fractional Dial Caliper

I've got to say, after hearing all this talk about people using dial/digital
calipers in the shop, I really wonder why. I have several around but they
never get out of the tool box.

Made in China, 6", stainless steel, dead accurate against my brass setup
bars, rack and pinion adjustment has no backlash, fit and finish is much
better than expected, very easy to read dial, marked in 1/64ths and .01,

but
easy to interpolate to 128ths, and about the only con thus far is that

it's
too heavily made for a top apron pocket

In short, a very nice, solidly made, 'woodworking precision' tool for $35
plus $9.25 shipping, ordered from the Grizzly website, arrived in four

days
including a weekend.

I'm impressed, and would do it again.
