"The longest-lived micrometer than can be bought." J.T. Slocomb micrometers and stand, all fully restored by myself. Each mic is between 70-120 years old, and they're all still accurate.surfaholic15 t1_j92z2wk wrote

Yep, whenever hubby is working with anyone I look at how they keep their tools. If I see precision things mishandled I give him a heads up so he knows to keep an eye on his good tools if he has to use them lol.
He recently helped a friend rebuild a CAT excavator engine. That buddy of his is really professional. Tables laid out, tools and parts organized at all times, everything carefully cleaned and repainted before reassembly. It was a joy to see them doing the job right :-). Winter is equipment maintenance season.
