    Just wondering to know has anyone else a problem in trying to get a decent sized micrometre and a dial gauge the travels more than 15 to 20 mm here in Ireland everything seems to be around the 10 to 15 mil in the micrometres and 5 to 10 mil in the dial gauges. Any help appreciated in where to get these tools from thanks
