Fakes!: Outside Micrometers

I'm a locksmith now and have been told it's a good brand! So I bought this one thinking it would help me get used to using mics and the guy who calibrates our instruments can't match digital! The microphone is calibrated but the numbers are not displayed! Still usable at the moment, but it's not as good as I'd like it to be! Not a real Fowler mic, it's made in China, Fowler is an American company!

Pros
  • Digital readout with 0.01mm graduation and 0.001mm vernier scale for accurate readings
Cons
  • Available in white only

Premium micrometer

This brand of Fowler micrometers boasts excellent weight, light weight, accuracy and rugged construction. The only issue I had was the dial cover, it seemed to crack quickly when hitting the ground. I emailed Fowler and they fixed the problem right away! They were very helpful and 100% support their product. We've been using their mic for a little over a year with no problems, we use it multiple times a day, 6 days a week. I will recommend this product to other stores we work with.

Pros
  • Ratchet bar applies constant force to ensure repeatability between users
Cons
  • I don't remember

Match what they are

I've made my choice to buy a complete set of micrometers numbered from 0 to 6 inches, but didn't want to buy unnamed imports and didn't want to spend $1000 on Starretts or Mitutoyos. I figured I could at least get parts or repairs from Fowler. Since they don't offer a full 0-6 inch set, I went with the 0-3 inch set and bought the 4, 5 and 6 inches separately. They all seem to work as advertised and are good. Value for what they charge but although listed they have a hammered enamel gray frameโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Hardened and precision ground anvil and spindle have micro-lapped carbide measuring faces with 0.00005" parallelism at 0 to 25mm microns and 0.00003" flatness for accurate measurements
Cons
  • There are new competitors
