Manual gauges vs digital probes, stuck with the old way after a bad run

Back in 2017 at a shop near Dayton, I had to choose between upgrading our mics to digital or keeping the manual sets. The digitals kept drifting on the floor with all the coolant mist, so I replaced the batteries twice a week for a month. I ended up sticking with my old Mitutoyo analogs, and they still hold within a tenth after all these years. Anyone else deal with digital gear that just can't hang in a wet shop?

Same here, my digitals crapped out in a month, but the analogs just keep going no matter what.
