    Yah! Even though it's only a Mitutoyo it's still a bad sight.

    What's the problem?? It's Starrett's adjustable torque wrench.
    Adjust for maximum tightness, turn fastener until 'pop' is heard.
    Very useful!

    Doesn't look like my Starrett. Just like my Mitutoyo.

    So are you saying if we paint tool's RED, they will never be lost again :) Or just not mistaken as a lost screw driver that is Silver :) I so, going out to buy a boat load of RED paint :) It's a joke! If only it was that easy!

    Wow, that's beautiful Russell. Mine's a Starrett 436 as seen below. I really like the mechanical display on yours. Mine lacks that and I get so confused counting off the tick marks and rotations. I'm no expert with it, so it takes me a while.
