need to get closer I check with a nearby size gage block first and

don't recall having seen analog digitals in larger sizes.

I've got Starrets (circa WWII or older) 0-6" that are pretty good and a
set of Companion (USA) (ok) upto 4", but I'd like to get something a

Seems the battery is always dead when I really need it.Â* I really like
the analog digital.Â* Its also faster for getting close before I even put
the mic on the part.

Bite the mental bullet and embrace electronic digitals! Just buy a
bucket of batteries on eBay. Get the best name-brand batteries, the
no-name are crap.
