What Did You Buy Today?

No idea how long Home Depot can sustain this, but free overnight delivery is pretty cool. Like @PHPaul mentioned, HD gives a generous Vet discount, here in WA it pays the sales tax. I tried a set of the new Horror Freight pliers, came in a blister pack. <Shrek> The Channel Lock clones are so loose the channels slide right past each other. Argh. Got some Milwaukee brand that I like from HD along with some clamps mentioned by the Tool Guyd who IMHO does better than average hand and construction tool reviews.

And because my recent table saw incident caught me flat footed with the kit in the main shop, one of these:

Is that one of the “Jewelry Storage” boxes that pop up on FBMP?
No idea. Every time I look at FBMP I just get PO over the algorithm and give up. I did just see Horror Freight has similar for $3 USD less, bottom drawer is larger.
Apparently HF doesn't want customers to share their finds, can't see any way to get a URL. SKU is 72436.
 
<Smile> The Starrett is still my favorite.
But now I have a pair:
I was never interested in the COMBIMIKES, so I never studied what was available.
It's interesting that one of yours has metric digital and inch conventional scales while the other is vice versa.

I’m mostly Starrett, but picked up a couple of Mitutoyo items after the Raymark auction in the late 90’s; really like the dual reading CombiMikes, which is why I finally broke down and bought the new that are own their way.

My Starrett Mechanical Digital is 0 - 25mm, NOS

You do realize that two, 0 - 1” aren’t the same thing as 0 - 2”, right?

I have Starrett 0 - 1” & 1 - 2” Multi-Anvil.
