Digital?
Bra hahahaha
Somewhere I have a analog set if I can find them.
Not much need for that type of precision knuckle dragging in the desert.

I forget exactly why I purchased the digital calipers, but they have received lots of use, sometimes just converting decimals to fractions, or MM to inches quickly.
They drain the battery though, through parasitic draw.
I just slide the 2032 button out of its receptacle half way before storing it.
No need to expend any extra effort to satisfy my curiosity.
I'm not overly enthused about the cheapo's build quality/design, but neither am I disgusted by it.
I'd just love to see how a high $$ brand name compares in design.
Spade fuses that rely on spring loaded 'claspers' to grip the fuse tangs, will always be a weakness of design, as the claspers have to be brass, not copper.
I installed a cheapo atc/ato block in a VW bus and it was difficult to insert a fuse, alignment wise, and they almost dropped out, this cheapo I bought for myself is far better in that regard.
