Ummmmm......that's not a micrometer, it's a vernier caliper (or digital caliper). Most used tool on my bench, besides the Foredom, probly.

The disadvantage, to me, of a derringer is it's a last ditch effort gun. Accurate to about 2 feet or less. Plus only 2 shots. I prefer the Berretta's 17 round capacity.

Lol.

The more expensive ones automatically shut themselves off which is a nice feature, definitely helps with battery life

technically it is a micrometer. lol

 

[Ethan Hamby]

I call both this and the screw kind a micrometer because both are exactly that. Most call that kind a caliper though.

No, not true. TECHNICALLY, this is a caliper:


And this is a micrometer:


A micrometer is accurate to .ooo1 of and inch, a caliper is accurate to .001 of an inch at very best.

Nailed it.

 

[Ethan Hamby]

Either way doesn't matter what it's called as long as you know how to use it

 

[Ethan Hamby]

I've always called it that lol so that's what I call it

 

[Hedgerow]

So you would be willfully wrong and like it?

That don't seem wise.

Better to learn and be correct moving forward. Never stop learning.

There are now some digital micrometers, makes it easy for us hillbillies that have a hard time reading the old-fashioned kind! They advertise to be accurate to .00001 of an inch.

The day I don't learn something useful for life, is the day I'll die!

 

[MG2186]

A lot of people don't know how to read a micrometer correctly there for use a caliper which is all right for some things but not for things where accuracy is required

I learn every day lol there's a lot I know but there's always small details that only come with experience... Like the internals of this *f-wording ms660 lol I'm gonna have to use the manual because I'm not sure of the correct order to assemble it
