My wife came home from work today with one of these ... They upgraded monitors and just had it sitting around. New toys are always the best when they're free!

After cheapo digital calipers and chinesium vernier calipers, I've gotten myself a proper vernier caliper this time. If I ever want a digital caliper again it would also be mitutoyo, but that's 4-5 times more expensive and I like reading off the Vernier scale and how easy it actually is.
Love me some Mitutoyo. Used to use one of their their gauge block sets to perform routine calibration of other measurement devices - dial gauges and calipers.
What a coincidence, I spent 10 minutes talking about calipers in my last live stream. Though it was mostly concerning digital calipers.
I was a USMC CDI for rebuilding GTS/APUs and we used analog depth gauges/calipers with strict CAL standards but as I was heading out the door they switched to digital which "should" eliminate user error for precise measurement but my "inner old man" prefers to use "real instruments."
Slide rules, charts, tables, and manual calipers pretty much built this world's foundations and it is still standing strong!

What a coincidence! I'll talk about Metrology to anyone unable to run fast enough!
Since this is becoming a caliper thread, let me just jab this in here:

It's my dad's, it's about 30 years old I guess.

Boring stuff, but the flash drives are for a guide i am writing, and the adapter is so i can use my camera battery charger safely finally!

Package of 5 power switch harnesses arrived much earlier than I thought. They're all blacked with female spade connectors on one end, so I can maybe wire up some switches without soldering.
I also got a sixth one that was sleeved, which I love! However, what I don't like is at the two ends with the end of the sleeve and the heatshrink. I've never done cable sleeving before, but I think I understand now why Josh mentioned in his sleeving video to melt the sleeve at the ends after cutting. Good thing I have extras that I can sleeve myself; I'll just need to start learning!

I do not like crowded place, it is close to agoraphobia, and only music ease the pain it inflicts to me. This was kinda an expensive buy but decided to treat me well after all those month I went through.

Very nice... (Borat's voice) And at 32 ohms / 103 dB/mW they are super easy to drive, no amp necessary.

Oh my, can I... touch it?
I promise not to drown it in Creme Fraiche!
Some new wheels for the family hauler!
