thanks all
I have a basic cheep and very tarnished one in my tool box, I was thinking of a digital one for the sake of my eyes. I have to go to Screwfix soon so will probably get one there, thou reviews are mixed.

Can anyone recommend a decent digital vernier gauge, they seem to range from a few pounds to hundreds. Screwfix and RS have some for around £20. not looking for ultra high precision just reliable and useable.

Hi All, my plan to remove the hammerite paint from my interior units is only half working! comes off some surface ok, on others it's trickier to remove and the scraping damages the wood effect plastic laminate underneath. Ideally I'd like to keep the good sections and cover the not so good with mat...
