[QUOTE="jeallen01, post: 1075253, member: 176704"] Just had another play with the calipers. If I am [I]careful[/I] with the initial zeroing (e.g. put it with both blades together on a dead flat surface, like my kitchen worktop) and then open it randomly at various angles, then this pair certainly gets back to "0" degrees (or, at worst, with a 0.1/0.2 deg error, which could be due to the blades not being at exactly 90 degs to the surface) when you close them again, and check them on the same surface. OTOH, can see what you mean about the "Chinesium" material, and so will treat them with a thin smear of lubricant (stuff I have to stop the BBQ rusting a bit over the Winter) PS: you going to "have a punt" with the Tribute?:D [/QUOTE]
