Just snagged this off ebay:



Sturtevant Richmont 2SDR-150I 1/4" torque wrench, 30-150 in-lbs.

Accuracy and repeatability counts on the small stuff too.
I'm gonna make one of those gw/matco hybrids next, great find.

^ nice score!

There is just something about finishing off the job by torquing to spec with a nice trq wrench. Makes you feel like one of the guys on the finishing line at M in Garching...

Absolutely love all my vintage Starrett mikes and gauges I inherited from my grandfather. Nothing beats a good quality measuring tool

Yes, I have some of the same from my grandfather/father. Just cleaned up my dad's old Kennedy box as well. All new felt in the drawers and a fresh coat of paint.

I think I have almost that same box with all my stuff in it. go figure....

[AndrewBird]

They have been making the same box for 100 years (literally), so I believe it. My dad is in his 60's and said he got this box used when he was younger then me, and I'm 24.

Heres a few shots of mine, the measuring equipment is 99% Starrett, probably nothing newer than the late 40's or so.

The wife got me this for my basement shop. LOVE IT!

And I cleaned up my workspace with some bins and such

I have a ton of tools, these are pretty much just impulse buys for me, but I love picking up the little things.
