One of my pet peeves is digital clocks. I asked a student to look at my watch (which I had taken off and put on the bench) and tell me what time it was. They could not tell me because it was an "old fashioned dial type, with hands".

Its really personal preference, I think digital's are easier to read quickly and will keep you from making silly mistakes. I have used both and I much rather have a digital set. Digital calipers are so cheap anyway it makes no sense to get dial ones.
Get a set of mics to teach your kids how to read "old fashioned tools". It will keep them busy for a while and quite entertained.
However, the best responses come with patience. It might be a couple of days before you get a good answer or it could be 10 minutes. - Molten [more]
