Fowler makes well-made digital calipers. I've been using a Fowler Ultra-Cal III since 1995, which has been very reliable until a recent building flood sogged it.  The best place I've found to buy Fowler calipers is at All-Spec Industries, http://www.all-spec.com, where the pricing is quite good. Fowler also sells a computer patch to directly upload caliper measurements to a spreadsheet, although I've never used it.

I have a couple 20-year-old Mitutoyo fine-point calipers (573-221-10) that frequently give error readings and are therefore unusable. Does anyone know if these can be repaired? If not I'd like to replace them with something similar. I'm having a hard time finding a vendor online. Does anyone have suggestions?
