Looking to buy 0-1" Micrometer, one with a round end

Also looking for 0 -3-4" Micrometer too

snap-on truck.....

There are some good machine supply stores in LA. Call me and I may be able to point you in the right direction.

Snap on is great! But so darn expensive.

I like Starrett and Mitutoyo as brands for precision measuring devices. I actually like my Mitutoyo's better. I got a good deal on a closeout thru Enco when they were closing here on the Mitutoyo's .

I buy my tooling from Production Tool and Supply. http://www.pts-tools.com . decent prices, its just down the street from work.....well that does not help you much ....and good stock.

Given good name brands I would buy on price. Good old internet search and buy.

Regards,
BigMoose

edit.........I wish I could spell.........Mitutoyo right

I've got the Craftsman ones, but I'm kinda mad that they don't have the vernier scale.

I like Starrett also but i use Mitutoyo at work. Try www.northerntool.com

Check out http://www.use-enco.com and http://www.msc-direct.com I buy most of my tools mail order from either of them. Enco tends to be a bit cheaper than MSC, but look for sales at either of them. MSC might have a branch near you, in which case you can just go in and either buy (assuming in stock) or order stuff there as well. For brands, I like starrett and mitutoyo as well, but usually prefer starrett.

I love those ones with the digital read out. You push a button and goes from metric to inches

Use the internet! Type in "micrometer" in Google.

Thanks guys, Im just looking for something thas inexpensive but those digital models are lookin good! Rocket, I'll definately give yu a call and see if I can window shop for some in the LA area.

For inexpensive, I actually bought a set of the really really cheap $29.95 mics from Enco to use when I don't want to risk damaging a good mic, and I checked them with some gauge blocks at a bunch of different measurements, and the cheap ones ended up being dead on. They're definitely not real great quality, but for the price, I was impressed.
