    I just have to say, I haven't had any trouble ever returning an item
    to HF that I can remember in recent history. In fact, I bought
    someone the 4" digital caliper for her birthday. A couple weeks after
    she had it, she mentioned to me she didn't use it much because it
    wouldn't stay calibrated. I didn't have the receipt anymore but I
    offered to take it back for her. I figured the least I could do is
    buy her another one since this one was defective. Ive taken a couple
    other things back without any problem at all. One was a auto battery
    tester that I had had for over 2 years now, and they exchanged it
    without question. It still looked new and I did have the original box
    for it though. But nevertheless, I wasn't to worried about it. Worst
    case I would buy her a new one, they are only $14. I have 2 of the
    6", and my Dad has a couple, my brother,and about a hand full of
    other people I know have them, and they all still worked great. To be
    honest with you, I had a digital caliper that I had purchased from
    Gesswein in 2004. That same year the electronics just quit working.
    Yes, I checked the battery but Gesswein wouldn't cover it. That one
    cost me around $100, and I cant tell the difference between that one,
    and the HF one. They look identical in everyway except the box. HF is
    plastic, Gesswein's is wooden. But all the way down to the Made in
    China stamping, they are the same. 

    Anyway, At the store I walked up to the cashier and was ask if it
    was a return or exchange. I said exchange. She said, leave it here,
    and stop to show me the other one before you leave! That was it.. I
    have been buying items from HF off and on for some 20 + years, and I
    really cant complain to much. Sure, in the past I have seen some real
    junk, but for the most part the stuff is fine.
