Default I bought a new vernier caliper off Amazon.

Very surprised with the quality of this Preciva Vernier Caliper with a
large digital readout for £20. I can't read the Mitutoyo one any more, the
scale is too small.


The plastic ones are brilliant, too, cheaper, £7-8. I have one in every
tool bag, like a tape measure. Mainly I use them because my eyes aren't
up to reading a ruler without glasses.

I find I don't need/want the added precision of the fine adjustment
wheel on the posher versions. For precise stuff I use a micrometer.
