What to get?

[Kinser Racing]

I've got $23 burning a hole in my paypal account. I was thinking about getting a cheap 8" digital caliper. What would you get? /images/boards/smilies/sneaky.gif

Here you go if you can toss in another buck or three. I like the dial caliper, digital readout is nice though. It's just a preference for me.

GX, I have a Mitutoyo 6" dial caliper. I'm just looking for something a little different that I can use and I can't think of anything.

Edit: I think I'm going to the speed shop. I'd still like all of your ideas! Thanks!!!

Hi Chris,
I like the 8" dial caliper but some
Folks prefer the digital.

If you really don't know what you need. send it to me. LOL

$23? Think I would get 2 Heinekens and a slice of pepperoni pizza (plus tip).

For that wad of cash I would get a piece of sugar pine, 92's, derlin washers, and a cold mtn dew!

"For that wad of cash..." You guys are funny. It was meant to be something to joke about. I would like to get the 8" digital calipers though. The Starett's are out of range. The Mitutoyo's can be had somewhat affordably. For what I'm going to use them for $23 is about right for some of the one's on ebay. Does anyone know of a particularly cheap brand that's relatively reliable.

Check out VXB it's a bearing outfit. They have a nice digital caliper for under $20. I think Quadad has one from there. If you order enough bearings sometimes they send you one for free........you have to order a ton of bearings, but where I work that is not a problem. Sorry, I see they raised the price.

Thanks Bill.

I have had the VXB digital caliper that BSB is talking about for a couple of years now and really like it, you wouldn't go wrong /images/boards/smilies/wave.gif

Hey Bill
Just a wild guess.
Do you have beers with the fella that works in the friction chamber at the ball bearing outfit?

With $23 buy all the Kaizen you can.... /images/boards/smilies/wave.gif

Is there a hidden meaning here?
$23 dollars seems rather specific

Did a little more looking on their site. I found the one I was referring to. http://www.vxb.com/page/bearings/PROD/inch/Kit7426
