Lots out there to choose from.
Looking for what you have learned and what is good and what is junk.
Thanks

I have had the Wixey version for a long time. I am happy, although I do remove the battery after each use because it *seemed* to me that it drained it just sitting around.

Get one with a flip up screen--much easier to read in many instances. I've had good luck with a Wixey--no battery issues either.

Tilt box, best out there
I no longer build museums but don't want to change my name. My new job is a lot less stressful. Life is much better.

Wish they had the tilt screen when I got my Wixey. I've had it a long time, maybe 13 years. I doubt I've replaced more than four batteries.

Happy with my Wixey and is acurate and repeatable. maybe i got lucky, don't know it's the only one I have ever owned. Do agree with the battery removal though. Can't really remember why i started doing that but probably due to battery life.

As I recall, the early Wixey's were subject to very quick battery drain. I believe they fixed that problem in later models. The one I have still has the same battery it came with. I've never removed it. I haven't used it in a while, but the last time I did, it worked fine and the battery was at least a few years old.
