   Reliability/repeatability varies a lot so I have no opinion   
   but of non-digital gauges, there are spring type (like   
   Milton, Tech) and there are actual Bourdon tube type   
   (AccuGauge, Kingsbridge).  Even between those I'm sure some   
   china factory could screw up accuracy of a Bourdon tube so   
   technical design and actual product may be very different.
