Are you sure about that number, Phil? Even the Chinese junque at Harbor Freight states, and is, more accurate than that.
I prefer mechanical gauges over digitals, and as Rick says, keep (a pack) of batteries handy; they eat them.
Mechanical gauges with a telltale make meaningful measurements easier. Digitals have a zero function, but when you zero, your previous measurement is lost.
When we were certifying to ISO 9001, digital gauges, on almost every measuring instrument was considered a secondary measuring tool.
