Default Digital Calipers

Just Thought I'd pass this on.

Whilst being dragged around Woolies today I noticed a set of Digital Calipers.

Being the sort of thing that would come in handy for me they grabbed my attention, esp when I saw they had come down from £25 to £12.50. So I grabbed a set and took them to the counter. Low and behold they had been reduced again to £7.50 according to the check-out girl.
So I took two pairs.

You will not beat this price anywhere, so if anybody wants a pair better get there quick as I suspect stocks are very low.

Good luck hunting

Unfortunately they only measure to 1/10th of a millimeter and not 1/1000
They are also a plastic/carbon composite and lack the full features of normal units.

Not really a bargain in my opinion.
