Not always. The Aldi ones are pretty durable.

I have the Aldi ones too and they are around 5 years old, work fine, just replacement batteries required.
Seem accurate to me, certainly much more accurate than I'd be able to see with my old eyes reading off a scale.

Saracen probably didn't have anything THAT accurate when they built it
very true, the digital calipers are VERY accurate, don't forget the thickness of the paint/powdercoat either

I agree,cheap digital verniers are never to be trusted.I suppose Im just an old school engineer but a secondhand Mitutoyo caliper can be got for 20-30 quid and the only way it gives a false reading is the person misreading it.The History Man":hdyu7v8h said:
