    HF 6" Inch(Fractional)/Metric Digital Calipers - $14.99

    In-store sale price is $19.99, but they will honor the web price if you bring in the printed webpage. I believe there's also a coupon for this in one of the recently mailed flyers.

    HF 6" digital calipers

    Looks like a good price on this one for sure. I have a digital unit I bought a couple of years back from another tool supplier paid about twice this price for it.
    I have found that I use it more and more for all types of applications. It really is handy to have the fractional measurements vs the measurements in thousandts
    and having to convert them!

      I picked one up for the fractional capability, already having the one that does thousandths - and tested it on my brass setup bars, all fractions checked out spot-on to the bars, so I'm happy with it.

      I'm amused (but not surprised) that it measures to 1/128 - pretty darn precise for woodworking, and will make me brush up on my fractional estimating (let's see - 6in and 81/128 is... a hair over 6 & 5/8!

        I may have to get that one. A while back I got the plastic one, the fractional readout is great but the plastic has some give, about 1/64 if you try to get too tight of a reading. Not much of an issue most of the time except when trying to figure out what size a drill bit really is. I payed 9.99 for mine, SS at 15.00 is a great buy I think. Thanks for the post.
