(The L.S. Starrett Co.: Athol, MA) -- The L.S. Starrett Co., a global manufacturer of precision tools and metrology equipment, is reducing the price of its 795 and 796 line of electronic micrometers by more than 25 percent. The line, which has been expanded with 15 new tools, offers a measuring range to 4 in. (100 mm).

The price reduction makes Starrett’s design, build quality, and precision an affordable choice for a broader range of people considering the purchase of an electronic micrometer.

The 795 and 796 micrometers feature an IP67-level of protection against coolant, water, chips, dirt, dust, and other contaminants found in hostile shop environments. The 795 includes an RS-232 output port for data transmission, while the 796 does not. The 795’s RS-232 port allows output to the Starrett Datasure Wireless Data Collection System and other RS-232-equipped systems. All other features and specifications of the 795 and 796 are identical.
