Make sure you don't drop them :LolLolLolLol:
They go in the bin often at work. False economy for me, mitutoyo are the only drop resistant calipers. I'm not having a dig and I am serious. Loads of lads have tried them and a couple of falls and the screen is broke and the measuring jumps as you open and close them. Take them out the case to use, put em straight back in and they will last you years.
