I have a Brown & Sharpe electronic 6" caliper that has never measured a damned thing. Every time I reach for it, the batteries are dead and I revert to my trusty dial caliper, which works every time.

Me, too. I finally learned to take the batteries out of them so they wouldn't rot the contact plate, at least. Put the battery in a sandwich bag or small plastic bottle, and it usually stays "hot" longer than in the tool. I used to insist that all of my apprentices learn how to do their jobs manually, before they got to use power equipment, much to their dismay. My standard question was: "What would you do if the electricity went out?" Most of them failed to see the sense of that - and we worked for a power company, at that.
