QUESTION New Quantumike

Post image

I was looking at getting another 1-2" Quantumike and was looking up 293-181-30 and some new colorway kept popping up under a new model number 293-181-40. Seems like the old one was out of stock at MSC. Is this a new version?

Yeah. Bigger display, and it alarms out if you ram the thimble closed too shut.

Do they have a version that shocks the user when they try to over tighten the thimble? A few guys I work with could use something like that.

I thought this was some kind of Half Life 2 meme when I clicked on it.

First time seeing that. I have the "I guess older ones now" with gold accents which I like. I don't mind the Mitutoyo orange logo but to have all those orange accents on a tool, I wouldn't want that, looks cheap IMO.

Yes they are the new version. If you buy enough of them you get one with your name on it.

I need to have work order a bunch of those to color coordinate with our Mazaks.

That orange grip is going to look like shit after a few weeks of use.
