All of your tips for care and accuracy are spot on. Especially dialing it back to 0 when done since most home users will go weeks or months between uses.
What's even better is the price. It is on big sale right now AND there is a 20% discount code! I got a 3/8th for $12!!!!! The tax and shipping were only an additional $4.20. Since I will use this mostly for servicing my mowers, I can't go wrong for this price. Thanks guys.
