I suspect buying a better micrometer may be the solution.
Even the $10 (on sale) dial calipers from Harbor freight will do that.
Yup, looks like time to upgrade from vernier to dial.
No... caliper, digital.
Dial calipers don't have dead batteries every time you want to use the
tool.

Wrong. I have a pair year with the battery lasting more than a year
now, and my pair from San Diego even longer, and one came from harbor
freight and the other from Radio Shack, and the one at Home Depot is
probably just as good.
If the soft off button on a Starret works, what makes you think the
soft off button on these still burns juice so terribly?
The soft off button on a handheld calculator has worked right for
decades.
I think you dorks are making shit up... AGAIN.

Twisty? So like you using a pair of flush cutters to cut staples and
get all buggered up, I guess you use calipers as mini wonder-bars to pry
things with.
Your brain is bent.
And for the price, they do not need to "last a lifetime", just like a
$20 watch does not. When it breaks, you throw it into your bomb timer
parts box, and go get a new one.

A caliper does not have to know where it is, and they have zero
buttons one presses when they are AT zero. Sheesh.

Well if "they all do" then why is everyone pissing and moaning about
the Chinese models?
Which even the name brand models likely are, BTW.

All I can think so far is to snip a bit and optically compare.
0.2mm is 0.00787" What caliper can't measure 7 thousandths?
Wind it on a pencil? 13 turns (12.6 turn) per 0.1 inch. (0.2mm)
0.1mm is .00393"
Cheers
I like that idea. Whether it can be done gaplessly enough I'm not sure, but can find out.
I suspect buying a better micrometer may be the solution.

Ha, you paid to much even though I did pay that for one from HF
however, I also got a one form Aldie's and they were clearing them out,
I think I paid like 5 bucks for them, digital dial works just as good
as the HF.
If you don't use this stuff everday they're great..
