Anyone ever heard of Accupro micrometers? MSC currently does not list any micrometers under the Accupro name. Read that they are made by Scherr-Tumico & they sure do look like it. They only say "Accupro Made In USA" on them. Some say they like Scherr-Tumico mics & some say they are just low end USA mics.
I currently only have 2 digital Mitutoyo Quantumikes 0-1" & 1-2". Been wanting a full set of 0-6" Mitus but can't afford that right now. So I was just going to buy a import set that is a copy of the Mitus. Doing so would go against my norm as I try to stay away from import measuring tools when I can. Then I found this Accupro 0-6" set on ebay for $200 shipped, brand new never used, still in the original packaging.
They don't feel as nice as Mitus or Starretts but for only a $100 more than the import set I think I got a great deal.
I'm too lazy to post a pic right now but if anyone wants to see them I will.
EDIT:
Ok fellas, here are the pics....
For some reason I was expecting a smaller box. Been looking at 0-6" OD mic sets & just never realized how big the box sets were. Makes sense considering how big the 6" mic is. That's a 6" scale in the pic.
Outside of the box has some dings & scratches but I don't care, it's the inside that's important. All still wrapped in the original bags with the anti corrosion sheets.
As far as I'm aware nothing is missing although there is an empty slot on the left side, not sure what that's for? As you can see there's a full set of standards too which are nowhere near Mitu quality but they seem to check out fine.
They are friction/direct thimbles, never owned any friction mics myself only ratchet but I kind of like them.
So what do you think, they look like Scherr Tumicos, yes? Worth it for $200 shipped? I think I did ok considering they are brand spanking new, got to be much better than a $100 import set. I still want a Mitu set though!
