This review is from: Anytime Tools 0-6" Premium OUTSIDE MICROMETER MACHINIST TOOL SET ROUND FRAME w/CARBIDE TIPS (Misc.)

I am an old time gear head kind of guy (53 years old), and have rebuilt about a dozen engines over the years. I like this set of micrometers, mostly because of their affordability. In the past, I have had access to Starrett micrometers when gauging pistons, cylinder bores, and rod & main bearings. This set is of a lower quality than that of a Starrett, but I found it to still be quite good. I have found that you are going to pay four to five times for Starrett equipment, but all I really do now, is measure pistons, cylinders, rods & mains for a rough assessment, to determine if I am going to bore the cyliders .020" over, or turn the crankshaft .010" under, etc. I let the local machine shop perform their magic, where they do have the super-duper micrometers, that are critical for their operation. So unless you are going into the machine shop business, why spend the high bucks for superior equipment, for just an initial assessment. I have found these mic's to be plenty satisfactory. If you are going to measure cylinders, you obviously would need an inside measurement, so I bought the telescoping, snap, T-gauge set also. They worked just fine, very pleased with both sets. I also bought the cylinder bore micrometer set, that uses a regular style dial indicator, where you are measuring not so much the actual bore, but rather difference in the bore, to see if the cylinder has a taper to it, or has a whiskey barrel shape to the cylinder, etc. I found it be somewhat useful, but the afore-mentioned micrometers with a telescoping, snap T-gauge sets,to be more useful.

Just my two cents worth ......
