Digital verniers.

I just bought my self a set of digital verniers, a spur of the moment type thing & when I got them home & was checking them out I found out that they not only read mm & inches but they also read fractions ;D. Which for those of the younger generation & those from metric countries I guess may not mean much , but for those of us who are a little older & may have grown up in imperial countries or those countries that changed over to metric & can mean quite a bit. It is nice to measure something & convert the measurement to fractions & see something like 5/8th or 11/64th or what have you . I think it is one of the coolest tools I have bought for a while .
The ramblings of an almost nearly half century .

Hey I hear you believe me We converted to Metric from English Standard way back, so far I don't want to say and I still use standard or both. Celsius is the only thing I don't convert to Fahrenheit anymore!

Hey we converted to metric here in Australia way back in 1974 . I still use a mixture of both metric & imperial, but like you only use Celsius not Fahrenheit .
