I currently own 2 digital calipers, Both are 6" calipers. The first is a Neiko 6" from Amazon, and the second is a Harbor Freight 6" Digital caliper.
Something I found out sadly is that both of these things seem to go through batteries like crazy. My solution has been to, instead of just turning it off and putting it back into the case, I take the extra step of removing the battery and stowing hte battery in the little pocket in the case.
I just find it a nuisance to have to replace the batteries every month or two, using this method I have been getting an average of 6 months life out of the batteries. Still seems a bit excessive, but at least I don't constantly wonder if the caliper will power on when I need it...
