In my initial testing it seems to work perfectly well, as expected. The total range is just over 1 inches (mine goes to 1.056" or 26.82 mm) so you can easily measure a full 1" reference. There is a button-cell battery behind door #1 (which was included, and already installed) but I am curious about door #2 which the brief instruction page does not mention. It seems to reveal four PCB edge connector pads, I'd guess for a data transfer cable.EDIT: If you lookup the Hackaday project "Digital Dial Indicator CNC Surface Probe" you can in fact get the digital readings into a computer automatically, IF you build a separate circuit. It's a custom 1.3V signal, clock and data protocol; oddly enough it's BCD in inch mode, but straight binary in mm mode. Anyway, not an officially supported feature, so the cable for this is not sold AFAIK.

Had a bearing go bad in my Mercedes and decided to fix it myself. Bearing must be seated to a tolerance of .01mm to .02mm to meet specifications that would be impossible to do by "feel" as many claim. This precision instrument totally filled the bill. I got the digital version (glad I did), due to the ease in reading the large LED display. This instrument is quality built and feels sturdy, has a nice heavy-duty carrying case, includes 21 various tips for the instrument's measuring probe, includes a battery and instructions. After installing new wheel bearing in my car, it is buttery smooth and I saved over $500. note: Everything went so smoothy I began having second thoughts on the instrument's accuracy. I have since tested it against my wide assortment of feeler gauges and it reads precisely what is stamped on the gauge, including my smallest one that is .04mm. Very happy with this purchase and highly recommend it to anyone seeking this level of precision.

I bought this for two reasons; 1. the magnetic base with locking 2 joint arm. and 2. The kit comes with a couple dozen tips for the indicator. One of them was exactly what I needed for measuring top dead center on a planer knife.Both functions worked well. I have no idea how accurate it is but it's probably just fine for my work.I would only give Starrett and Mitutoyo 5 stars.
The battery works great in my cordless drill

The digital dial indicator worked great! I used it to set the bearing back lash on a farm tractor transmission

Selected this digital read out after reviewing buyers of analog instruments and finding their complants with zeroing in the gage. This is just a push of the button with the digital gage. Very pleased, easy to use.

Used this with a balancing stand to true up the spiked wheel on my Harley. With this indicator, I was able to get the wheel trued up way better than the spec in my shop manual. Going to have a bunch of other uses as well for this dial indicator!
