Question 1

Any mechanics use this professionally?

Accepted Answer

I am not a mechanic but use it daily in a large manufacturing facility. It is not a bad product fine wheel a little rough initially, but smoothed out after some use. The digital display does not extend numbers as far as some other models. A plus is that it does have numbers on the barrel, good to have if battery dies. I used to own a fowler and it did not have this feature. Bad news is that if jostled it turns and stays on. At least two other people at work have bought one, they seem to like them. Where I work their literally hundreds of people in the shop and all have to know read and use calipers and micrometers. The company has no problems with this product which they calibrate yearly. Required by customers we make parts for. Hope this helps.

Question 2

does this micrometer have replaceable batteries?  I saw others that don't and are disposable, but they were much cheaper and more poorly made.

Accepted Answer

Yes, it does. There is a little compartment on the back for the battery. It comes out easily and the battery says "AG13 BUTTON CELL" on it. The instruction booklet lists the power supply as "one silver-oxide button battery SR44 (1.5V)," which is compatible.

Question 3

Do you sell replacement parts? The screw came off the rachet and it fell apart.

Accepted Answer

No

Question 4

What is the measurment of the Standard that is supplied with the micrometer in order to calibrate ?

Accepted Answer

As it is a 0-1 mic, you zero it completely closed.  If you want to check accuracy throughout the range, I recommend using a set of parallels as standards.
