My digital came from Harbor Freight.

It's VERY accurate according to the standard items I've measured with it (coins and some aerospace bolts).

The only thing I'll say about the HF calipers is that you need to get some REAL batteries, not the ones that come with it. The ones that came with mine lasted maybe 3 weeks tops.
