I've always been partial to brown and sharpe hand measuring tools. The calipers are significantly more durable and accurate Ive found.
However I'm looking to buy a new set of mics, depth gages and various other hand tools, but brown and sharpe is also significantly more expensive than mitutoyo's version. The question is why? Seems like almost everyone buys mitutoyo these days, is it because they are less expensive? Certainly they are accurate.
Would you, if you were me, just pay the extra $100 each for brown and sharpe, or should I got mitutoyo. I know this topic gets covered every few years, but perhaps someone has some new insight or opinions that might help.
Thanks,
I'm also open to alternative suggestions, I'm not ruling out anything.
