No different to the ones available on eBay for £10. Had an eBay one for over a year now, very happy with it.

Normal is getting dressed in clothes that you buy for work and driving through traffic in a
car that you are still paying for - in order to get to the job you need to pay for the clothes
and the car, and the house you leave vacant all day so you can afford to live in it.

The cheap ones are OK for what most people use them for as all the generic brands are exactly the same product (from the unbranded stuff in woolies and aldi, to clarke, sealey and others).

If you want a bit better one you should be looking for a Mitutoyo or Moore and Wright one.

I got mine from MAC which i think was 25 squid. Looks about the same as the ones shown. Although i do get a replacement straight away if it breaks or anything.
