A little bit off topic, but... I have used Mitutoyo solar powered calipers for about ten years now, and I love them. No battery to worry about, if you have enough light to read the LCD you'll also have enough light to power it. The absolutely best feature is that you can zero at any point, makes it super easy to compare dimensions, measure how much you got left to machine, find the right piece of metal in the scrap bin etc.
