I remember that post and I agree with him. The subject was dial calipers and
he prefered Mititoyo over Starrett. The Starrett required repair far more
often than Mititoyo. This has also been my experience. Some of Starretts
tools are quite good. Some I wouldn't touch. Just like any other tool
manufacturer, they do some things well and others not so well.

I recall a fellow a while back here
on the Wreck saying that he'd been having issues w/ Starrett over the
last few years, and preferred a different (even more expensive!) brand,
but he worked in a metrology (i.e. calibration) shop and I'd guess is a
little more picky than I am Haven't heard any complaints otherwise,
but then, I guess most people aren't equipped or qualified to make those
kind of evaluations...
