ahh I have the same caliper, do you find it has a habit of turning itself on when stored and then you've a flat battery next time you want to use it? I tend to use the lock screw to stop the sliding part moving now as that turns it on when you don't want it to.

Cheap and n...y, batteries don't last. Not had a problem with it turning itself on while in the box though.

handy thing to have, so long as the battery is alive when you need it. I tend to take the battery out now and put it back when using it even tho I've a fair few of that type kicking about spare. Bring back proper on/off switches I say!

I always store mine with the battery and lid out so I know it’ll fire up when I need it. My eyesight isn’t friendly with the old analogue calipers…. 😞
