That would have been a great deal at $25, but $170? That's pure BS.
It's not like it's a precision instrument which could warrant that
price. Sheesh. A little handier, but not that much.

You are not fabricating for a living, day in and day out, so your
assessment of it's value is meaningless in my world. As noted in
another, post, anything really worth anything, costs a bundle here.
It's hard to find a combo square here even approaching what I consider
decent quality. $35 will get you a soft aluminum square head with a
cheap blade. Figure $50 for anything halfway reasonable.
Moore and Wright, now you're talking quality. And $$.
Could probably have saved something having it shipped to my mom in
Calif. So shipping there. Then mom, in her 80's has to repackage, go to
the post office and ship to me. She's not getting around so well, and
that all would probably have take 2+ weeks minimum. And there's the
exchange rate...

I'm just glad I have all the really expensive shop tooling already, no
way in hell I could retool a shop at AU prices, on my salary.
