my new Starrett C636ME rule held up over its shockingly cheap sleeve.

   It's been some time since I bought a precision tool. I'm lucky enough to have a decent set of Starrett and Mitutoyo stuff, bought back when I made decent money.

   Just added this lovely "six inch" rule. Dull chromed steel, excessive precision for most things.

   This one's got that newfangled "metric" system on it. I guess it's here to stay.

   (That's what I say to piss off my (very few remaining) reactionary car friends who kinda think like that.)

   Most used tool in the shop, by far.
