[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 616097, member: 25383"] most of the time I use a 4" pair of Mitutoyos that I bought in April 1970. Just as good today as they were new with the exception of some discoloring of the clear plastic cover on the dial. When I retired I called down all my old apprentices (well I left two or three out). Gave two of them two sets of keys to the largest Snap On tool cart, and another. Told Mike that I'd pulled everything I wanted to keep, and the rest was theirs. The other box was full of combination wrenches all the way out to 2 1/2" in both inch and metric (I called them Viet Cong wrenches). There were two sets in each size, plus a 3/4" socket set that was complete. In the other box there were custom designed tools to fix machinery and build stuff. A couple dozen good dial indicators and just all sorts of odds and ends. Every once in awhile Mike will call me up about a machine he was sent out on that he knew I built. I'd tell him how to find the problem and then fix it. gary [/QUOTE]
