Mitutoyo 500-351 Vrs. Mitutoyo 500-196-20
Does anyone know of the 2 above, ( Mitutoyo 500-351 Vrs. Mitutoyo
500-196-20) What one is better. I don't think they make the Mitutoyo 500-351 anymore, but I can get one used from a fellow locally for $65.00. But ENCO has the Mitutoyo 500-196-20 on sale for about $95.00 and I think they have free shipping right now? Thoughts? Thank You Tony |
