Would you send this back?

Hi all....received a new DTI today and when I opened the box I could see that the tip is cocked to the right a bit ( photo doesn't show it quite like it looks in person). I'm a little disappointed seeing how this is a Starrett ( I know it's made in China, but I still expect a little better quality control). Anyway, do you think I should sent it back or am I making too much of this? Thanks.

For what you probably had to pay for it ,it should be right. How the mighty have fallen.. I would send it back. It's not a 9.99 special form Harbor Freight.

Ridiculous, send it back.

I suggest a little bit of trouble shooting. If it doesn't work out, you can still send it back.

The DTI kit should have come with a small "wrench", perhaps even other tips. Unscrew the tip, if the mounting hole has been drilled crooked - that's bad. If it is just the tip - complain and they will likely send you a replacement tip (they come in a kit - you may get a tip kit for free).

Verfy that the hole is bad, if you can, screw a tap into it, longer than the tip should show worse alignment.

This thing is definitely going back....half the crap is missing from the case!! Plus, it looks like it was already returned once..damned thing looks dirty.

Don't mess with it, send it back. It doesn't matter if you paid a lot or a little, the unit is defective.
