Mitutoyo 4-5”, with standard. The case is a bit worse for wear but nothing a little plastic surgery can’t fix.
I had to chuckle a little as I was driving out to get this today. I received my first micrometer, an NSK 0-1”, for my thirteenth birthday and although I didn’t use it that much I did occasionally have a need.
Fast forward a few years (like about 40) with a more focussed interest in machining related things I broke down and bought a 1-2” Starrett. That ought to do me, I thought. Why would I need anything bigger than that.
Then a 2-3” Moore and Wright showed up and, well, it just seemed too good of a deal to pass. Overkill for my needs though, I’ll never need to measure things that big...
When the Mitutoyo digit mic came along for absolutely silly dollars it was a real stretch — four inches, Frank? Really, you think you’ll need to measure accurately up to four inches....?
And now this. Clearly though this will be the end of it, I know my limits and that’s that. I cannot see how I would ever need to accurately measure anything larger than five inches.....
