Currently the windows ping command returns a value of milliseconds that is an integer.

I would like to get a very accurate measurement lets say 4 digits after the point.

Are there any tools that do that?

A: 

hrPing does microsecond level accuracy round trip ping timing: hrPing

For a great list of alternatives that do microsecond ping round trip timing on Windows, see the following web site:

How the heck does that pull off finer resolution that the system clock itself?

@Matt, there's no magic happening here. Standard ping may in fact use the high precision clock and just round or truncate digits that are not interesting in the typical case.
