Bingo!I have one and love it. Take out the battery after each use.
I have two digital protractors, a tilt box and three or four digital calipers.
I love them all.
I do remove the button batteries!

Exactly. The issue for me appeared to be that the Wixey 'woke up' every time the drawer in which it was kept was opened or closed. I assume that's why the battery life was awful. I don't use mine often so inserting/removing the coin battery isn't that big a deal. I did have to bend the contacts in the battery case a little to insure solid contact but again, no big deal. iGaging is another source, I don't know how prices compare.
