I selected the dial caliper because it did not need a battery. All the reviews for the digital calipers said something about batteries draining fast and hard to change. The dial caliper does not have that issue. I use the caliper for selecting drill sizes for my hobby. It works great for me. My negative comment is the plastic case. The plastic case is very thin and the closing clasp broke the first time I opened it. I wish the company spent a few cents more and provided a better case to protect and store the caliper.
