Default I bought a new vernier caliper off Amazon.

Very surprised with the quality of this Preciva Vernier Caliper with a
large digital readout for £20. I can't read the Mitutoyo one any
more, the
scale is too small.
Now go and buy a stock of CR3032s or remember to take the battery out
when you put it away:-(

Probably easier to use CR2032s.


ops!:-)


I thought they used LR44 / AG13's. One a month if you're lucky. Or if
you take the battery out when not using it, the contact breaks off after
a while.

That's why I bought a Mitutoyo Absolute in the end (nice big readable
display) after two cheapies broke. But yes, they are amazingly accurate
for the money.
