    Been using dial calipers for years and didn't know about the small tool for re-indexing the dial. Luckily I still have it in the storage box. Mine are Craftsman from the 70's and I try and treat them well. Great video, thanks.

      Not every pair has it. The metric ones in this video do but the inch ones don't. I guess it depends on the model.

    Use KBC tools a lot; very good to work with. Good to know about the squeeze trick.

    Great demonstration and tips! This is the first I've heard of the adjustment tool - I've never had a new set of calipers.
    I like the shirt too😂

      Thanks. I bought the shirt from a lady at work. I'm trying to get her to make ne one with a micrometer on it.

      You probably recognize the crappy beat up calipers too.

    Great video, I don’t have a dial caliper. Could you make a video on a digital caliper?

    • @StuartdeHaro
      @StuartdeHaro  Před rokem +2

      Sure thing. I already have a couple of shorter videos showing some tricks you can do with digital calipers. Check them out if you get a chance.

    Learned a lot! But still confused. I got an old dial caliper that has 2 sets of micro number. No idea how it works. Can you help?

      Send me a picture of it and I'll see if I can help you figure it out. My email is my channel name @gmail.com.

      I'm right there with you. I have to move everything far away to focus on it, but then it's so much smaller.
