Dial calipers and micrometers are the only reloading tools I will not have to buy. I was a machinist for many years. I never liked digital anything. Its kinda like sights, start adding things like batteries you add potential problems. Get a good set of dial calipers. I like Mitutoyo. Very soils design and a good value for the money. In micrometers, I have Starrett. Very expensive, but they will last as long as the firearm your loading for. Buy digital anything, you will eventually have to buy another set.
