Sinclair/Starret Case Neck Micrometer?

[motobtcr]

Wondering if I can possibly get some feedback on this item. I was using a Redding Case Neck Gauge that does really well, but they do not offer the proper mandrel/pilot stop for the 6.5 caliber using the small flash hole(i.e. 6.5X47 Lapua). I am looking at buying another tool that can accurately and efficiently measure case neck thickness. I was considering one of Don Nielson's case neck checkers, but they run $200 + $30 for each additional mandrel.
is this Sinclair unit with the Starret attachment worth the look?
Thanks for any suggestions or feedback

Both the Sinclair and Nielson are excellent products . Starrett makes a great product , and for sure Don Nielson makes nothing but the best . It's just the ease of use that differs between the two and of course how much you want to spend . I use a Mitutuyo tube micrometer with a digital readout because my eyes aren't so great . Sinclair also has a product called an " Insize neck thickness " digital micrometer that is accurate , works quite well , and is inexpensive . Starrett and Mitutoyo are both products that can be found or ordered at your local tool shop as well .
