Amazon’s pre-Black Friday Lighting tool deals have been disappointing, but there are some interesting deals for today, 11/25/2015.
I’ve got my eyes on the Mitutoyo 8-inch digital calipers – if the sale price is right. I have 6-inch Mitutoyo calipers, but sometimes they fall a little short for measuring things like the overall length of screwdrivers, wrenches, and knives.

Sale prices will only be known once the deals go live at their designated times.

While I’m not sure I need the precision of an eight inch digital caliper to replace my 6 inch Mitutoyo 500-196-20 – I can see the appeal if the deal price is good. In my woodworking – I find that I more often use a Dial Caliper that reads out in fractions – My 15 year old $80 (back then) Starrett 1202F-8 serves me well – but I believe that it is now made in China and costs a bit more.
I also can attest that Fuji makes good HVLP sprayers – too bad the Q4 that I bought when I retired was not on a lightning deal.

There is a NIST version of those calipers selling for $160 right now:

The only real problem is that it won’t ship until after Christmas, but at least the shipping is free.

Today I ordered a Mitutoyo digital caliper for 29.99 USD from here: http://www.banggood.com/Mitutoyo-6inch-0-150mm0_01mm-Digital-Caliper-Stainless-Steel-Electronic-Vernier-Calipers-p-1012111.html
Maybe it is even an genuine one…

On a side note, I just got 4 real Mitutoyo calipers, three 6″ and one 8″ for a little over $200 via an auction at a closed Bose factory. Just needed new batteries and they are good to go.

Lightning deals are always fun, always wanted to buy a new paint sprayer. This 8-inch caliper is also interesting if can get it at the right price.
