Mitutoyo Dial for me. Haven't changed a battery in one for close to 20 years, either
Your dial caliper has a battery ?
One of the benefits to a dial is there isn't a battery to change
I hear you, changing that battery every 12 years is a real pain in the ass.
Hard for a dial to have an electrical failure...
Using a dial caliper with a bullet comparator is a PITA. I have both, and the digitals are just faster.
