I hardly ever use it, but this little spring-action micrometer just feels so good in the hand...

Eagle 66's...love 'em. I get them rough and work the dings out, replace a few parts in pump and polish them. Here's my latest addition after soupin' it up.

The 66's are my favorite also. I have 4 of them and also made one too.

This is not a pic of mine, I am too lazy to walk down to the shop. I got mine from a Chrysler dealer that was going out of business back in the 80's. The owner was a good family friend, and he gave me a gold (Plated) micrometer he got from attending a Chrysler technician training event back in the 70's. Mine is in a nice snap open case, looks like this is just a cardboard box.

Nice calipers, especially for the price, IMO.

I think I am the best looking tool in the shop.

Here is one of the older tools in the collection . It's a 1916 Fuchs in case . Cost of indicator was $5.50 and 75cents for the case . This sits in my drawer unused until the top quality , tight tolerance aerospace jobs are performed .
This belonged to my Uncle's father who owned a shop back then .

When I have a crap load of holes to do and time is of the essence , I break out my cnc drilling machine .

In this case cnc = crank n crank n crank n crank .

Is that a 2 speed drill? My Dad had one, back then it was often simpler to use then digging out a corded drill.

It is a variable speed drill, depending on how you vary your speed!

But you are correct, it does look like it has a two position crank on it.
