Caliper battery covers
Re: Caliper battery covers
The grey digitals like in the pic have served me well, much like the orange angle grinders of which I have several. The black ones suck, imo. I do enough relative measurements that even if I start with the dial, I often go back and get the digital out of the drawer. They aren't exact always but they are close enough for their intended use.
Re: Caliper battery covers
I have tried several different calipers; unfortunately they just don't seem to last, I have one that simply won't zero, it always reads 0.0something or other, another can be zeroed, but depends upon how hard you push the movable against the anvil. Non digital are excellent but you need a loupe to read the damn things so, I will keep buying digitals and replacing them when the need arises...

If you bought a Mitutoyo digital caliper, you wouldn't have the problem of losing battery caps.

Wouldn't have a zeroing problem either.
Zero it once, and that's it. It's set.

If I bought a mit, I wouldn't have more than one and would constantly be running around looking for the last place I used it. I've now got all of my cheapo digitals up and usable and scattered around.
