    Digital Caliper @ Aldi

    If anyone needs a digital caliper - the Aldi one is very good for the price - £7.99:

    Ok, it isn't like the Japanese Mitotoyo ones which cost 10x more - but this one works well and is repeatable when you open/close it continually - unlike some of the eGay ones.

    OK for general use (instead of a rule), I'll probably get another one at that price.

    I was thinking for reloading use - these are quite fine.

    Unlucky? I've been happy with mine after trying a bunch of bay specials which did as you describe.
