[QUOTE="TaergEno, post: 958845, member: 37489"] Alright...so I feel really stupid. I was measuring a ruler, with my calipers (as a personal friend suggested) to ensure the calipers were reading correctly. As he said that having brand new brass being .4" off from the SAAMI standard was actually quite odd. So I was measuring the ruler and the calipers were not exact with the ruler. This whole time, while I am measuring, the calipers display would blink on and off, which I thought was normal because it is brand new and was the first time I was using it. Since it was off even from the ruler, I decided to maybe try the other battery in the calipers (as I could not think of anything else to do). And once I replaced it, the screen stopped blinking and the brass now measures ~2.71" So yeah, lesson learned: If a caliper display is blinking, the battery is dying/almost dead. [/QUOTE]
