I bought a set of these and they are jumping all over. Have to push
zero every time. I guess I'm going to replace the battery and hope
for the best.

I tried to buy a pair of HFT calipers a few years ago, found they didn't
read right, lost large distances.
Went to exchange them but thought "hey let's make sure I get a pair that
works..."
NONE OF THEM. Went through like 10 boxes on the shelf. None read
correctly.
Now I've had an HFT I bou

HF sells the right hand version of that exact same caliper for $19 and they
always have discount coupons. I paid $15 for one.

Or how about some company making a digital caliper with a display on both
sides, so it can be read no matter which way around you have to use it to get
at what you need to measure?

I'd like to find some left handed digital calipers as low priced as the ones
Harbor Freight sells. They're plenty good enough, especially the latest one
they have which reads in inches, millimeters and inch fractions to 1/128th.
Surprising that left handed calipers aren't as common as the right h

I tried to buy a new pair from Harbor Freight awhile back and they were just
reading wrong. IIRC jumped around missing large portions of travel.
Went back to exchange and thought to check first- ALL the ones on the shelf
read wrong.
Best results, Neiko calipers seem to be of consistent quali

I think it's a bit problematic that the battery industry offers
different battery chemistries with similar but different voltages in
identical form factors, but that's not the problem I was describing.
The *REAL* problem is unscrupulous Chinese manufacturers who copy

No, it's this one (the 3" size is actually rather convenient for many
