It doesn't lose its zero when it shuts off. Zero it, open it and turn it off. As soon as you move it, it will turn back on and you will see that it still retains the zero.
I use a 4" HF SS caliper constantly and have never lost the zero unless I pressed the button by mistake.

Has anyone had issues with the 'auto off' feature of these digital calipers?
I can see working on a particular project, stepping away for a few minutes (coffee?), and coming back to a powered off caliper - losing its initial reference point.
There doesn't appear any way to override the function on my inexpensive Harbor Freight calipers.
