So, after searching in here and reading up on micrometer advice I decided to take a chance on some older brand name micrometers to start out with. I’ve used a friend’s very cheap Chinese stuff and just felt the eBay risk was worth not having to use junk like that. I paid between $32 and $46 for them each shipped. My goal was to stay under $50 each shipped. They all have a return policy, good seller rating/feedback and had decent pics to see overall condition, they look pretty good to me. Hopefully I got lucky! Did I make a mistake? These are what I picked out:
TESA 0-1" Micrometer Brevete Swiss Made
