Don't cheap out on calipers. You will be amazed at how often they are used, and while there are many very capable brands - the good ones are smooth and just feel perfect. We got a "medium level" 6" caliper last year and the kids use them constantly. But they are no where near as nice as my old, beat-up Mitutoyo, Brown and Sharp, or Starret models.
