They're nicer than I expected
Bought two digital calipers, one Lyman and one of another brand I won't name (starts with H and ends with ornday) and found the "H" brand sometimes did not return to zero when closing the jaws by as much as 0.001 (usually when it happens, it's the 0.0005 which isn't an accurate resolution for either brand). Bought a second Lyman. The second one felt a little gritty, but cleaning and using so far has cleared a lot of that up. Both the Lymans seem to return to zero reliably. I purchased them to have a couple calipers dedicated for reloading purposes, not for machining and stuff like that. For basic measurements these seem to work decent. I also have a decade or two old Lyman dial caliper that is great and well cared for. My only complaint with the Lyman is with both of the ones I got, one of the batteries looked like they had started to corrode. For both of them the other battery seemed ok (they come with 2).
