A modern, ergonomic, insulated frame design on the new No. 733.1 0-1" outside micrometer is designed for comfort and ease of use, providing an optimal user measuring experience. In addition, the new Electronic Micrometers offer upgraded electronics, a longer battery life, an advanced locking mechanism and a large, easy to read LCD display. Industry 4.0 ready, Starrett Electronic Micrometers are equipped with RS232 output, ideal for use with data collection systems such as Starrett DataSure.

Starrett Electronic Micrometers guarantee a precise measurement at every position each and every time.” said Tim Cucchi, precision hand tools product manager at Starrett.
