Reminds me of when I bought a General Tool automatic center punch and
my friend liked it so much he bought a Starret one because we thought
it would be better. It had weaker springs and only worked if you kept
it oiled. Very annoying to pay a premium price for lower quality.

You don't suppose that the closer tolerances of the Starrett made it more
sensitive to improper maintenance (regular oiling), do you?
