Pat,

I'll hop on your web and look at them again. I usually buy these little 
digital ones NV1100 or some number because I use them for work noting what 
I need to put in the machines when we inventory them, and I've been known 
to drop a few or even in advertently sling it across the room if it slips 
out my hand lol. They are much cheaper to replace if they actually got 
damaged but honestly they are as tough as nails and I only had one put out 
from over use I think and the other I just replaced because it was getting 
old.
