I'm not trying to poor shame, but harbor freight has never been known to have ultra precision tools. And there are some shops I have worked at that the bosses think mitutoyo is the same as harbor freight because all they see is dollar signs

I’ve used harbor freight stuff for years. If you don’t need ultra precision, and you don’t for dismemberment, then saving that cash can go to other tools.
