depends on what you want to pay....

I got a fowler 1-2" from enco ..AU$191.00 delivered plus the usual extra fees as above

I have Mitutoyo mic's but for the electronic ones I just bought the cheaper ones like these below from CTC. From what I have checked they are accurate and come with carbide faces.
0-1" (0-25MM) DIGITAL HIGH RESOLUTION MICROMETER #C97

For $35 you wont have a heart attack if you do ever drop them, LOL
The 25-50mm ones are available on ebay along with ones right up to 100mm in the same style.

They are also available in the splash proof variety on ebay, and are about double the price of these ones.

HI ALL,
I forgot to Say not ones that are going to Cost me an Arm and a Leg. It is a Shame that CTC Tools don't have a 25 - 50mm Mike as well. When I was on Ebay last Night I noticed that the ''dscount machine shop' which is Shars had their Shipping Marked as Excluding Australia - has Anyone else noticed this?. I don't know if this is the same or not if You Buy something from the Shars Website and want it Shipped to Australia.
Thankyou for the Links I will have a look at them Tonight.

Hi Stewart,
I've noticed it. It appears you can still order through their webpage though the postage seems pretty high so I haven't bothered.
