Always thought digital calipers were better until I grabbed a Mitutoyo dial one from 1985
I was digging through a parts bin at my local shop in Tucson and found an old Mitutoyo dial caliper from 1985. Everyone I know swears by digital for speed, but I ran some comparisons on a set of steel brackets and the analog one was dead consistent within 0.001 inches across ten measurements. The digital ones I use drift by 0.002 after a couple hours. Has anyone else found older tools surprising you like this?
