I just ordered a set. I'm sick of my $25 non-digital calipers (Home Depot) not displaying the difference between 22.2mm stems and 22.0mm stems. That caused me some grief until someone clued me in about Peugeots.

Btw, I would not trust the $1.99 tool from Harbor Freight. They might work, but I'm not too impressed with their tools so far.
