I bought a set of digital calipers (Lidl I think) for about £13.00. Very handy for all sorts of things like measuring rod diameters & ring eyes, plus a load of other things. Takes the guesswork out of measuring things for those of us with ageing eyesight! There are some for sale on eBay.

I have some similar but from ALDI. Useful to have for all sorts of things - but i’ve found that I have to remove the battery when I finish using it because it will be completely dead the next time I need it.

That's not good. Not had a problem with mine, though we do usually have a supply of assorted Button cells for car alarm fobs & similar.

The current ones might be better - i’ve had mine about ten years. A lot of the time I use a manual vernier calliper or a micrometer, but my old micrometers are accurate, but ‘imperial’ so I have to run conversions. I don’t use them enough to buy metric ones.

Now that is a cracking idea, We have some down the workshop they are soon to go missing.
 
Good old Veals Mailorder make everything so easy, On closer inspection the top 4 guides had either cracks in the liner or chunks of liner missing so its a total tip rebuild. Im actually looking forward to doing that its been a long time since did something like that. Bloody good excuse to shut myself away in the workshop for a couple of days....Peace and quiet....Priceless.
