I bought a set from a ebay seller named 800watt or something like that. The set was 0-6 inch outside micrometer. The micrometer reads to tenths in machining terms, aka .0001.

Granted they are not mitutoyo, but they work as good as the operator.

That set on Ebay looks decent enough, It doesn't have the tubular frame which is a good thing and it comes with the standards so at least you can check them.

they don't sell em any cheaper, thats for sure. As tmod said they come with anvils to check accuracy.

You may get away with just a 2-3 micrometer if you are just checking crankshafts.
