A curious thing happened with one of the cheap digital calipers. I had purchased several from Temu because there's never one close at hand when I need one. I grabbed one the other day that I don't think I'd ever used before to measure something close to 5" wide, and the caliper showed 2.5". Weird. I cycled the power, re-zeroed, and it still indicated 2.5".
Checked the metric scale along its length, and it was also indicating 50% size. Comparing the analog scale to the readout, it appeared to read exactly half size.
The display was solid; there was no low battery indication but I replaced the battery and that fixed it. I can't quite explain the failure method.
