Faboulus light weight doors from Mexx. I am really gonna hate to ruin that paint. Perhaps I should buy a new pair just to have these on the wall instead? :-)
Thanks Mexx!
Nice score Trond.   Wink

Got this from a Chinese website. I was very curious to see what you get for 32€ shipping cost included from china.
0-25mm
Inch/mm
0.001mm resolution
data output

Looks good, feel right in the hand albeit a bit heavy. Worked a bit rough out of the box, but work nicely after a few turns.

do you also get air-conditioning in your garage JF, just to get exactly the same temp with every measurement? Grin


funny today at work we are going to decide on new calipers (if it is called that way?) and we opted for non-digital ones as they always seem of during the day or even with the same measurement. even worse with cooling fluids. we'll try to eyeball things better in the future  Grin Wink or get the right tool.

Lol, yes I work in a sterile room with climate control  Cheesy

I use normal micrometers and a digital caliper (Mitutoyo, very good stuff,IP67 rated ). But this one was so cheap that I couldn't leave it  Grin I have to confess, I'm tool-a-holic  Cheesy  
I tried it tonight.


Good enough for what I have to do with. I don't think it can withstand in a pro workshop.
I'm wonder how they do to made things that cheap and even include shipping costs and a battery  Tongue
