  • Cheapo digital calipers here, good enough for bike stuff. £3.12 delivered.

    Just received these. They don't exactly give off the impression of a precision instrument, which is disappointing for something that cost £3.12 to be send from Thailand. Everything is made of plastic.

    They measure a 30.9mm seatpost I had to have as anywhere between 30.6 and 30.8mm. Should be good enough to tell the difference between parts, rather than accurately measuring the sizes of things.

  • Out. Fucking. Rageous.

    You'll have to pony-up for Mitutoyo if you want Tstr Approved calipers, but these received a Cursory Nod for using the commonly available CR2032, rather than the LR44 usually found in <£10 precision instruments.

  • those -appear- to be the same as the callipers i got at Aldi a while ago (not sure if the internals are the same though). For £8 they've been pretty useful and, as far as i can tell, accurate.
