My advice is that the measurment instruments are the most important
tools you will buy. Buy the best you can afford, they will give you
years of service. I have had no name imports, American made and shop
made measurement tools. Used Starrett, Brown and Sharpe or Mitutoyo
tools are better then most no name imports. Check your local auctions
and Ebay.
