Digital Vernier Calipers

[Ally]

Mitutoyo is a pretty good make. We use digital ones at work because that's what they provide, but I prefer the standard vernier scale ones.

got a cheap digital onef rom aldi a few years ago when i started my xr2 restorattion,been spot on compared to mates expensive ones but battery only lasted 1 year.....but they give you a spare! cost me about £12 and worth every penny

Aldi/Lidl approx 1 year ago - still going fine without any "error" issues. Approx £7 from memory.

aldi ones at £8.50 are fine for most things you'll ever measure
if you need super accurate measurements you need something better than digi calipers anyway (generally)

I got digital because I'm crap with measurements , all the extra numbers on verniers baffle me

im trained and still dont understand

Ive owned both expensive[£100] and cheap[£7]
The cheap ones dont lock off properly and the reading can move slightly,not critical as it only moves .+/- .0001. But annoying none the less and totally unsuitable for precision work.
Wish id never flogged the good ones

Anybody experienced the battery draining while not being used?

:?

I have a fair few sets and the battery that came with it did drain quite quickly (you also see it bulge on the backside with the writing on when they run down)
But I have a plentiful supply of Silver Oxide SR44's so until you mention it I never really thought of it.
