    Top of the line digital electronic calipers cost in the $150 range.
    However, being a cheapskate myself, but at the same time wanting
    quality, I found a pair at Lee Valley Tools for $50. It measures up
    to .01mm or .001", with accuracy plus or minus to the thousandth,
    steel beam and jaws, inside and outside jaws and depth gauge, capable
    of step measurements, converts to inches-millimeters. The only thing
    I didn't like about it is that it doesn't have a thumb wheel for
    sliding across the beam, and is instead just a stationary thumb slide
    dohickey. But for $100 difference, I can live with it for quite
    awhile. They are still lots better than the cheap dial types, and
    very accurate. This is the link:
