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.


It arrived today. I bought it to mount a USB microscope, for
reworking circuit boards. I am going to use a longer rod, to give me
more depth so I can work on larger boards.

I have one or more of these (Swift microscopes) IRRC...10x which
might be too much...

I never use em. Shipping might be a killer unfortunately...

I wish I'd seen those when I was there. (But I was in bad shape...)

I did show them to you..but as you stated..you were in bad shape.

I'm also looking for something I can use to inspect my back, then pick
the blackheads, scrape off keratoses, stitch up bullet holes and knife
wounds, etc. I can't wait for MediBots and AutoDocs to arrive.

Girl friends are handy to have. Just saying. Might want to look
around for an retired EMS or a nurse. They play well (usually) and
dont blink when putting in sutures
