well i can tell yu not to get the wixey version its a pain to get the battery out of or at least mine is..toms works like a charm and it uses a common 9 volt battery
hey if ya don't mind where ya getting these? i've wantig to get the wixey but if this works as good and is easier to change the batteries and the price is about the same, might just go with this.

Many places carry it, I got mine at rockler at a 50% off sale last year I the this one a little better than the wixley due to it has a 9V battery and goes to smaller increments as 100th's instead of 10ths. Here is a amazon link with a few places with good pricing http://www.amazon.com/IPIC-35-222-D...1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1281484850&sr=8-1-fkmr0
