Ed, would you, per chance, know if there is any meaningful difference
between a Mitutoyo caliper, and a Harbor Freight caliper, as far as
construction goes?

No, I don't, Iggy. I was involved with Mitutoyo before the Chinese stuff was
taken seriously.

Although the Mitutoyo tools are generally very good, their calipers weren't,
in my opinion, up to the quality of the rest of their tools. They weren't
rigid enough.

I don't know what they're like now. I accumulated a lot of Mitutoyo tools
when I was writing and doing photography for them. I have several lifetimes'
supply and haven't even bothered to look at anything new.
