Digital Micrometer Recommendations?

[piannaman at aol.com]

 And while you can't see the world through my eyes, neither can I....reading those little lines on my mechanical unit can be challenging.? It seems as though it would be far easier to see digits than trying to count little lines, particularly in a dark place.

Uh...maybe like some of my measurements have been (in the past).  You
missed it by 0.025" because of reading it incorrectly.  Once you've
done that a few critical times, you learn never to do it again.

Just a guess here. <g>
