The micrometer-style adjustment knob is accurate and easy to use. Draper also issues a calibration certificate with each tool. Kept in its rugged storage case and set to its lowest value, this tool offers a lot of use before needing recalibration. Sealey tools are a leading wholesaler of professional and workshop equipment. Thankfully, they’re also affordable (if not cheap) and can generally be relied on to be durable and high-quality.
