Their digi calipers on the other hand are a fine bargain, so that
isn't to dismiss all of it.

The caliper is the best tool I've bought recently. No more looking for the
+3 specs to read a vernier scale, so I use it a lot more.
The cell doesn't last all that long so I've just had half a dozen from
7DayShop so that I don't run out at a crucial moment.
someone here said its a fault with the box,
you need to cut some foam away
then it wont turn the thing on in the box
(or something like that)

Interesting. I've never noticed it on when opening the box, but it does have
auto-off.
I'll trim a bit of foam away to see if it makes any difference.

BTW, by "doesn't last all that long" I mean several months and perhaps used
about 30 - 40 times, but nowadays displays shouldn't drain a cell in that
time.
