RCBS 5-0-5.
Cabela's digital scale (unknown model number - not recommended - only used for weight sorting of bullets and cases, and spot-checking charges on the progressive press).
Hornady dial calipers (I wouldn't have paid for them by choice, but had to order something, to use some company credit... but they are good quality).
Chinese digital calipers (same as the Harbor Freight calipers - they're crap, but close enough for most reloading jobs).
Chinese micrometer (crap, but accurate).

Buy quality once, or buy cheap forever. (I'm still working on that, too...)
