Hi Elbertjw

" digital or dial "
If this is your 1st. I would suggest a digital one...easy to read...

You can find them in many outlets, I would suggest two 4" one and a 6" one, the 4" one you can drop in your shirt pocket and the 6" one in the tool box..
Most of them are now made in China now days...at the right price...

Here's just some links for some of them

3" with small numbers and face

Now that ive introduced myself i have two questions. Firstly i would like to get some setup blocks and i am unsure which brand to go with. Secondly i would also like to purchase an accurate caliper but i'm undecied on which brand and style(digital or dial).

Any and all help appreciated
Elbert
