Every time I get my calipers out to measure a thing I go "Agh, these calipers are a load of flimsy shite and the batteries run down even when I'm not using them, I should buy a better set," and then I never do, so fedi, please recommend me a good set of digital calipers that you've got firsthand experience with.
Difficulty level: I live among AMERICANS and am subject to their measuring nonsense so it has to give fractional inches as well as proper.
But I've had them over a decade and they STILL WORK THOUGH is the thing, they're Good Enough™
"Dan if you've had them that long and they're still kicking then they can't be that bad now can they" oh my friend I promise you they are
You ever had a tool where you actually wish it'd break irreparably so you'd have the excuse to buy a better one, but the crappy one stubbornly refuses to break, it just keeps on chugging, committed to mediocrity forever, it's the only thing worse than a tool that breaks the second time you use it
☑ Slides like its filled with sand even when its not.
☑ No fractional inches.
☑ Tape keeps the battery from falling out, but the battery still needs to be squeezed in every 5 min or so or else it re-zeros randomly.
... but it measures things so replacing it feels frivolous.
@ifixcoinops Don't buy from amazon. You never know when you will get a counterfeit. If you want counterfeit quality at a lower price buy from Shars - reviews say they are actually pretty good though I don't have any. Otherwise find an authorized dealer for a band name and pay the price.
