    My needs rarely go beyond a good set of Vernier calipers.
    I am a lefty and only just discovered left handed verniers( I usually have to read them upside down).
    They aren’t made for we lefties but for convenient measuring on lathes.

      DavecUK managed to find the same brand here in Australia. Nothing like a trusted referral, especially one that’s handed down from two generations of British engineers! Thanks again.

          DavecUK a bit pricey compared to Ali Express of course but I’m interested in accurately measuring in microns so there is no point in buying anything other than a proven reliable product. I’ve bought a lot from AE but not with something like this.

            My Vernier’s are Mitutoyo (not digital) and my micrometer is Moore & Wright (another really good make, don’t know if they are still in business though as i’ve had mine a while

            Checked their website yesterday and found the UK variant is now sold out. The EU and AUS are not.

            I also noticed that, according to their description, the only difference between those models is the plug type.

            Which make me wonder… why don’t they use a kettle type cord? Surely that would make life a lot simpler? It seems to be a great positive point for coffee machines, so why not grinders?

            you couldnt wind that up inside the grinder then though, could always wire a fresh plug on

              Cuprajake - but is it a problem? We don’t have that ”feature” for coffee machines, and often they are sited side by side.

                for consumer no, for manufacturer yeah lol, they would have to totally re design the grinder round it. i for one hate wires showing

                  Cuprajake - well… they had that opportunity with the Duo 😉

                  So, for me, I have the opposite problem: I just wished the cord was 30cm longer. Instead, I have to have it plugged to an extension lead.

                  If it had a kettle lead, I could’ve gone to the electrical shop and bought a slightly longer one.

                  Wasn’t a problem for my coffee machine because… yes, it has a kettle lead. 😊

                      A wire directly connected/soldered to the unit takes up less space than a plug/socket arrangement also.

                        MediumRoastSteam Thought shipment was not til July… but as some prod versions are in the wild maybe they are ready early ??

                          Nah I doubt it. They won’t ship till they said they would.
