on the way home at noon today I drove past a garage sale a couple
blocks from home. Something caught my eye so I left my wife in the car
and ran back. The guy had a wide assortment of interesting stuff,
oncluding a collection of machine tools and measurement tools - bore
guages, depth guages, micrometers, boring bars, milling cutters, small
taps and dies, reamers, a small tool grinder, a large assortment of
dremel tools, a nice set of carbide router bits, dial indicator
holders, - I'm sure there is well over $600 worth of stuff. I'm giving
him $165 for it tomorrow after I go to the bank for some cash - I
think I made a good deal - hopefully SHMBO doesn't disagree too
strenuously ...

Just remember that injuries from knowingly broken used tool use can reduce or nullify medical insurance claims.
BS

First things first. Insurers will challenge anything to get out of paying. For example, if you're on a jobsite and you bend 4 inch rigid pipe (RMC) on a bender that's half out of whack? Or that's been broken and put back together? And you're injured? The insurance company can find out about that and challenge payment.
And who ever said the used tools were "knowingly broken" - or even
that they werer capable of causing injury if they were? - gee, the
lock lever on the nicrometer is cracked and won't hold - and it broke
my arm (or put my eye out) - yeah - sure!!!
