mazambaan Posted February 28, 2021 Share If you are are really worried about the digital vernier batteries going flat you could also get a dial gauge vernier, no batteries to go flat and a little easier to read for the visually impaired, having said that, we have digital verniers and the batteries last forever, at least 3-4years, so.... My digital Mitutoyo is one of the best tools I have ever bought as my eyesight fades a tad. It gets lots of use and batteries do ok; unless you forget to switch it off ChrisF, BigDL and TheoG 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheoG Posted February 28, 2021 Share My digital Mitutoyo is one of the best tools I have ever bought as my eyesight fades a tad. It gets lots of use and batteries do ok; unless you forget to switch it off I got a Chinese cheapy (but decent quality) digital vernier, also the batteries last a long time. Even if I forget to switch off, it goes off after a while by itself. Can even switch between mm & inch.

TheoG Posted February 28, 2021 Share just how old are you toppies with your waning eye sight ......... No way I can read the nonius scale properly on a traditional vernier, even with reading glasses its a challenge . I'm 54, been using reading glasses since about 40, so your turn is coming ...

Steady Spin Posted February 28, 2021 Share just how old are you toppies with your waning eye sight ......... Old enough to struggle reading posts in comic sans on iPhone. The font changes to this odd looking serif italic mess. Takes a lot of squinting and moving the phone back and forward towards my glasses.

Muttley Posted March 1, 2021 Share So decided to pull the trigger on this Dremel 940 glue gun: Must say that this is by far the best glue gun I've ever used- the quality is top notch. Definately money well spent...prob now is that I want more Dremel tools! Just wish it came with a carry case. johnson, WrightJnr and Long Wheel Base 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ouzo Posted March 1, 2021 Share I visited our local pawn shop on saturday as I'm trying to get rid of some furniture, decided to take a browse through the store.I'm definitely visiting there next time I need tools, not so much the power tools, more on the hand tool side.
