   Micky Duck liked post by Longranger On thread : What reputable caliper manufacturers are out there?

   Mitutoyo....the cost will be long forgotten but the quality remains. The original battery is still operational after two years....never missed a beat and has been dropped once.

   I would say it's metric 13 x 1.......there are only 9 threads over 9.23mm not 10. Easily get an error of 0.23mm measuring like that......you should be using a thread pitch gauge.
