Be wary of cheap digital calipers. They can suffer from "brown out" as the battery drains, even when left switched off. This causes the measurements to be wildly out.
AvE on youtube did a review compared to his Mitutoyo ones.
I have a cheap set, but I keep the battery out (there is a hole in the foam padding inside the case) and I don't use them for anything that needs to be madly accurate anyway.
