    Hi Ivy, A digital caliper greatly improved the precision and accuracy
    of my work. A "must have", in my mind. I'd strongly recommend a
    digital caliper with .01 mm accuracy and ability to switch to inches.
    I think most calipers you'd encounter are of this nature. I'd look at
    Harbor Freight or Western Tool before buying from a jewelry supplier.
    A week after paying about $150 from a jewelry supplier, I saw the
    same item at Western Tool (WT Tool) for half the price. 

All the best!
