So long story short I lost my calipers somewhere in the house and need to replace them quickly so In looking to get a pair locally.I called Cheyenne and they don't have them in stock nor does AC Moore or Staples. Any suggestions from the masses?

Lowes

Home Depot or Lowes might have them, if not Harbor Freight, either way, they will all be good in a pinch or as a second set, but I will always suggest to get a good quality set of Caliper and Micrometer, I like Brown & Sharpe or Mitutoyo but these are from machine shop my father owned. Also it's a preference but I like it to have a dial rather than digital, but that's just me. It always seems that digital ones when you need them would have a dead battery.

Harbour Freight in Brick had a bunch last I was there, you are talking vernier caliper, yes? Both dial & digital. But you get whatya pay for there.

I agree w/Harry to get a good pair as primary, especially get a good mic, and keep them forever.

The set that has misplaced itself was a lab set from Squibb in New Brunswickand was really nice - I just need a set to double check some brass that may need to be trimmed

I bought mine from Newegg. stuff usually arrives next day.

Lowes carries a stainless set by Kobalt..for $40.00 they're pretty damned good.

The warranty or my job?

Grainger and McMaster usually deliver next day.

 

Another vote for Mitutoyo BTW

 

If you're in Morris Co by any chance check out Sheaffer Tools http://www.sheaffersupply.com/

Any store that carries mechanics tools should sell a pair.

 

If you want quality, I suggest you look here:

I have a pair of their 0-6" dial calipers, and they are by far the highest quality measurement instrument I have ever had. Better than Snap-On, IMO.

If you want a store to get quality tools as would be used in a machine shop and are in the Kenilworth area check out F & R Industrial Supply, also there are a few other places there but Dewitt was another one I used to go to. If your not in the area, check out Industrial supply places or ask a Machine shop in your area who they get precision tools from.
