Title: Batteries died but still a good tape
Product review: The Starrett Digitape is my favorite tape even after the batteries died months ago. This tape has the smoothest operation of my five tapes and high contrast, easy-to-read numbers. The digital readout was pretty accurate as long as you don't jerk the tape after it has been pulled out to measure.The tape is not real thick so it breaks earlier than I would like but fits better in my pocket, a compromise. The batteries only lasted a few months from when I received the tape, which is disappointing. Unfortunately they are the specialty button type and I have not had a chance to seek out a store for replacement. If Starrett made this with AAA batteries, I'd give it 5 stars.
