Looking for a vernier caliper, something decent and not made in Asia.
What does everyone use?
Thanks!

I have sets for wood working and some that read fractional. Yesterday you wanted to know where to buy, and today you ask what to buy. Do you have any idea of what your going to use them for and the resolution you need? Sometimes I need .001" resolution and other times a sixteenth of an inch will work. It makes a difference if your a machinist, mechanic, or a wood worker.

Because you can go out to four decimal places with it like 2.0004'' for example.

I don't know of any vernier calipers that will read in ten thousandths of an inch. It wouldn't be accurate if it did anyway.

Starrett 14" that I have had for years but it only reads to .001 just like any other caliper that I know of. Any more accurate and you will need a micrometer. I still grab an 8" digital or dial indicator most of the time however unless I need the length of the 14" beam.

By vernier do you mean a slide rule caliper?

After careful examination of my Starrett product catalog, it appears that you are very much correct. I stand corrected.
