I highly recommend IGaging EZ CAL, it has everything you need in a digital caliper,(large display, auto shut off, etc.) and does not eat batteries, it's called " Blindman's fractional caliper": for us older folks with questionable eyesight.
Question: Does this caliper hold/retain the position reading when it's turned off? I'd guess that it does not, because that would use battery power when off, and you mentioned that it doesn't eat batteries. Couldn't find any mention of retaining the positional info on any of the manufacturer's descriptions. Not a deal breaker, but it would be useful to know.

Yes it does, it also has auto shut off .,when you turn it back on it shows the last position it was set at.Question: Does this caliper hold/retain the position reading when it's turned off?

I have a very nice looking electronic caliper from Clockwise Tools that has very readable (~⅝" tall) numbers on the display. Smooth operation, thumbwheel, IP54 rated. But it loses zero when you power it off. Every time you turn it on, no matter where it is or was, it initially reads zero. A bit of an irritation to have to close the jaws and re-zero. But as I'd mentioned earlier, not really a deal breaker. Love the display!I think they all have to do this in order to remember where zero reference is, no? Otherwise you would have to close the jaws & re-calibrate with zero button every time before using?
