I've got lots of starrett equipment, along with my favorite brown and sharp stuff.
But it's almost all at least 30 years old.
The only starrett stuff I've bought recently is the 96 indicator kits, usually but a couple a year of them for the shop. Haven't notice any change in quality yet.
I like the starrett 6" scales but usually can't justify the cost so I order these instead for $6 a pop.
They grow legs so I get 5 at a time.
