couple thou. maybe get one for the other part too.

You may choke on the price, but THEY ARE WORTH EVERY PENNY.

I have one of those - a competitor's version, I think. It is a
FANTASTIC indicator holder. Great idea- using it for soldering!

I got mine when somebody here alerted to it's being on sale - for $65,
IIRC (not MSC). $65 seemed like a lot, but was worth it. $175, I don't
think so. I would HATE to have to decide whether to spend $175 for it -
it's so good, but that's so much.

Egad! Noga is downright _proud_ of that one, aren't they?

I just bought this for $19.95

These sell for $14.95 at Harbor Fright every day of the week, and
they're often under ten bucks on sale.

I've never seen one at the local HF store.

If you go there a lot, ask them to stock it for you. I got mine at
the semi-local store, 30 miles away. I make the Medford run every
month or three. Mine didn't stock their wheelbarrow inner tube, so I
ordered one off Amazon for a buck less. Hopefully, it won't smell
like Chinese rubber, which is worse than vomit when it comes to the
gag response. Dear Crom, what do they use in it?
