Just got back from Horrible Fright.  Picked up 2 of their 6" digital
calipers for 12.99 ea coupon special ( "regularly" 29.99.)  they come with a
spare battery, though the one I've had for 3 years now still has the
original battery in it.  I don't worry about dropping them or having them
stolen.  Now when I set one down and can't find it I can just grab another.
Eventually when I don' t jave one handy I'll go on a search party and
collect them all back in the central place....
