Hey all (and Papa Tony!),
I was at Harbor Freight last week, and "almost" bought their Pittsburgh Digital Micrometer - but the plastic thimble didn't impress me too much to start off with.. then I thought, ughh.. I know better - I should have a proper Mitutoyo or Starrett or something rather than this $34 micrometer..

Does anyone use one of these for valve shims? I want a digital one, I've got hundreds of shims (most of them are used) and want to organize them all. Is it any good? I can't find any horrible reviews on it, but figured I'd check in here first
I don't think calipers are good enough for shim measurement.
