This is more than fine. Anything bigger and I don't need a big precise tool.

This is mainly for sizing parts on my bike, plant pot sizing (I have a lot of plants) and just general stuff.

I love the idea that you need digital callipers to get the correct size pots. I ordered a 14.35cm pot, not a 15cm pot you pot peasant!
 
hoping to get some numbers dialed in!

Thanks both!
 
First purchase arrived in 2023! (Although technically 2nd, got a 4 way 12v USB thing from Aliexpress yesterday for the car but it’s not very interesting, although this isn’t that far off lol)

Also a Micro-B USB 3.0 to USB-C adapter for the DSLR. I refuse to have anything but Type-C connectors on my stuff.

Feet - meat paddles
Banana - lemon hotdog
Curtain - fabric wink

I found it pretty lol

That's pretty good for a tenner. I think I paid similar and mine is plastic.

Buy a proper Mitutoyo. Also buy a proper Mitutoyo micrometer while you're at it. You may never need it, but you'll own a Mitutoyo.

I used to be a machinist many years ago, my main two jobs were making the sliding rails at Boon Edam (you know, almost every single revolving door you've ever walked through) and I also spent a few months making the mechanisms for "klapschaatsen" (folding ice skates, but Dutch sounds so much more engineerey) and I couldn't survive a day without my measuring tools (just to point out the failings of everyone else obvs, I never made mistakes).

I still have my Mitutoyo caliper which I bought for technical school back in the 90s, one of my most sentimental posessions. Dunno where the micrometer went though, probably ran away after it got fed up with me playing with the ratchet mechanism.
