Indicator questions for first time buyer.

Pretty much all of my measuring equipment is Mitutoyo, as to me is seems like the right blend of price, quality, & features.
 
Thanks for all the input everyone. I ended up buying a SPI height gage from ebay for $70. From Craigslist I bought a Starrett 25-111, .0001 w/.025 range and a very old Starrett last word 711-f. I paid $50 for the pair and they seem to work great. I'll buy a shars with 1in of travel just to round out the bunch. I appreciate all the guidance.

Just beware that China is cranking out counterfeits Mitutoyo for one.
 
Buy once cry once. Sometimes it is cheaper to spend more than less. As I get older this seems true more often than not.

When you get to my age it's a toss up whether you'll outlive the cheap and nasty one :roflmao:
