Groove Micrometer OR Something Else?

Finding myself needing to measure internal grooves. Or sometimes the length of a part but can’t get regular calipers or micrometer where I need it. Tolerances aren’t critical, the usual +- 0.005”.

So what are you guys using these days? Still sticking with groove micrometer. Or digital depth caliper with hook? Hook-type digital calipers?

And stay with Mitutoyo and Starrett (if they even have the digital hook type). Or how is the quality of Brown & Sharp, Asimeto, Insize these days?
The last few Mitutoyo calipers we bought had ragged edges we had to hone before they measured ID correctly. So we weren’t so impressed with their quality.

Any advice is appreciated for a guy about to drop some cash.
