Calipers needing a new home

[Chicken lights]

Bought some lots of gear recently, there’s some extras Id like to move. 100% if it doesn’t work/aren’t happy full refund on the selling price. Willing to ship on buyers dime.
Mastercraft calipers, $20?
Lyman caliper, $50?
Mitutoyo caliper, $100?

I’ve done zero research on new prices, quality or repeatability, I’d rather move this to anyone that will actually use them . Located near Waterloo ON for local pickup

I don't know how many calipers you already have, but reloading benefits from multiple calipers dedicated to certain jobs. I keep a Hornady Overall Length Gauge adapter screwed to one of mine, and a Sinclair Adapter screwed to another.

You might consider keeping the Mitutoyo for that job yourself. But I'd sell the other two if I were you.

I have a digital caliper, why would I want to go backwards and start using outdated technology?

(totally kidding but it should be worth the reaction)

Hey Chicken bring that mastercraft set with you when you next head west if it doesnt sell I could use it, I am like Susq., I usually have a bunch located around the places i might need on but am down to only one working set now.

As Susq. says above, Digital or Dial, you can have problems with both.
Make sure you have an accurate reference to qualify your metrology device.
Even linear transducers can shift in a housing !!

I was going to launch into an old guy Luddite shit fit, and then I read the fine print.

Hahahaha Good One! You almost got me! My eyes are not that good anymore so I almost missed the fine print! Then I laughed out loud.

If you decide you really don't like that outdated technology, I'll happily adopt the Mitutoyo and maybe even give it back to you when your new digital technology has a spoiled hissy fit and lies to you.....
