Skeets not a Starrett by a long shot.

No, & a telescoping gage is not a dial bore either. I just happened to acquire the long handle which was made by Starrett so picked up some used heads for it at a good price, as I recall I traded a Lufkin set for them.
As one who used tools on a daily basis I did for the most part try to buy quality, but have used some others as well. I have a set of 6" Vernier calipers marked "Draper" & Made in China which will easily read to .001". Have used dial indicators made by "Enco" which is a Cheap Brand with no jobs "Killed" on their account.
I was never one who was tied to one Brand of tools. I favored a B&S test indicator over Starrett's Last Word, the B&S being much more sensitive & not requiring as much pressure on the contact point for a good reading. On the other hand I preferred Starrett's dial caliper over a B&S. The rack on the B&S was not well protected & they were very prone to the little gear jumping track & giving a false reading.
