You get what you pay for; I bought Starrett Last Word (New) indicator back in the 1960's, it has given no problems in all those years; buy crap. use crap, throw away crap.
have a plethora of dti's including Shars, a no-name import, many Fowler's, 4 or 5 Mitutoyos, 4 Interapids, 3 or 4 Starretts and a few General. I've had no issues with any of them though none get heavy use.

That is correct. I cannot find the old General holder, and so I bought a chinese knockoff of it. It is NOT a quality holder, but it is far more solid and repeatable than the cheap dial indicator that I mounted to it. Live and learn.I know Joe Pie likes to use one of those old General No 387 mag holders
