    I thought they were a steal at $20 when I bought mine years ago.

      That is a good price, just wish it was the fractional one. For now I have to stick with my plastic one

            I decided to order one. $6.99 for shipping. Total $17.85. But at I don't have to drive, closest store is over 45 minutes away. Would they have had the same price in the stores?

              My local store will match internet pricing if you print it out and bring it in.Just make sure the model number and price are on the print out.

                The only downside to these units is that there is no auto-off. I've toasted more than one batter due to forgetfullness. Now, if I could just figure out who that woman is walking around inside my house...

                  In the product description on the HF webpage above is says it has auto off...

                    My older model does not have the auto off feature but I believe GrantV has it correct, the newer models do come with that feature.

                      They still go through the OEM batteries pretty quickly, though.

                        the older ones don't have auto-off.
                        But I agree with JR, they do seem to go thru batteries quickly. OTOH, maybe because I use the eBay batteries or the hobby shop batteries on a card in bulk (alkaline LR44) for around maybe $0.20 apiece instead of the ones for $3.50 at Rat -Shack or Office Depot, maybe they don't last as long.

                        We're talking maybe 6 months, so its no biggie at $0.20.
                        I would assume the batteries that come with it aren't the 3.50 quality batteries but the .20 quality batteries, considering the unit sells for $10 and comes with 2 batteries.

                        I own 2 or 3 of those HF digital calipers, plus another set of the fractional-digital-metric ones.

                          At the current prices it would be worth it to buy another one just to offset my aging memory.

                            store will match internet price

                            Store price was $15.99 but store matched $9.99 internet ad and seemed happy to do so. You do need the printout to get the price.
