Mitutoyo micrometers can come in ratching style and friction style knobs. What are the advantages and disavantages of each?

And just to add some fun to this post, do you prefer digital readouts or dial? What is your reason for your preference?

If I use the ratchet kind, I use the three click method. I don't trust new mics till the results are checked.

Easy enough to test. Get a known part, measure it twenty times by feel, twenty times using three clicks. So... what's the most consistent?

Ah, a new "post question" standard. In case it wasn't understood, I prefer the other. Clears to you....twenty times over.
