Need a set of digital callipers by tomorrow. Can anyone help?

Hi all,

I need a set of digital callipers by tomorrow to precisely measure some parts.
Anyone know where I can get a set, from a "bricks & mortar" store, by then?

Thanks in advance.

Maplin sell them but whether they will have them in store is anyone's guess.

You could try Machine Mart too.

Although one could argue that non-digital calipers were used to measure everything until recently and I'm pretty sure they were precise enough for the likes of the Saturn V rocket.

I guess they used micrometers sometimes:

I think it's more accurate than a digital caliper.

I have a set of digital ones and sometimes they need to be reset, sometimes a spec of dust cause it not to reset to zero but other times its just slightly out.

Never had that with mechanical calipers.
