Kinda a weird list; in my experience with hanging around lots of shops, it goes Mitutoyo 500-196-30 (non-IP67), Mitutoyo 500-752-20 (IP67), followed by a long tail of everything else.
- etrautmann 4y agoyep, exactly my experience. I've almost never seen non Mitutoyo calipers anywhere that's not a personal/hobby shop
- mc32 4y agoYes by and large, but the Starretts are no chopped liver. They make lots of precision instruments.
- teh_klev 4y agoAdam Booth, abom79 on YouTube appears to swear by his Starrett collection of instruments. I've also never seen him use a digital calibration/measuring tool, everything is precision mechanical. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdtolQ6acak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdtolQ6acak https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRB9SXSYZ2Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRB9SXSYZ2Q
- Blackthorn 4y agoI've seem him use the Aventor brand from Shars of digital calipers.
- teh_klev 4y agoAh, ok, fair enough. If I could I'd edit to say "less often". I didn't think, in my five or so years of watching his work, I'd seen a digital caliper set in his hands.
- walterbell 4y agoStarrett models may vary by manufacturing origin, USA vs global/China.
- feet 4y agoI even have one for home use, they're wonderful
- gorgoiler 4y agoI think you are saying that: Mitutoyo are the best. When you’ve visited professional shops they use Mitutoyo tools. When you’ve visited hobbyist shops they are always using substandard (non Mitutoyo) tools. Did I parse you correctly?
- dTal 4y agoI'm glad I wasn't the only one who struggled a bit with the triple negative.
