I digital electronic measuring tools there is no other product I would buy other than Mitutoyo. They have nailed it on performance, battery life, accuracy and handling.
Having three completely dead Starrett digital electronic tools (No. 721 6" caliper, No.734 1" micrometer and some other caliper), I will not buy another. When they were working, they chewed through batteries in 6 months or less.
By contrast, I have three 6" Mitutoyo calipers that are nearly 20years old and I think I've replaced the battery twice.
