And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I shopped for these a few years ago, but decided to get the kind that are separate pieces strung on a metal cable. The advantage is that you can easily take the gauges to the work piece (say, under a vehicle) & since they're individual pieces, you can get them into tight spaces. YMMV
money well spent and no more than the cost of a day's snacks or coffee.
ReplyDeleteAMEN! Unless your eyes are exceptionally well calibrated, one of these will save you hours, 5 minutes at a time. Buy.
DeleteFair point, but use the 'price checker' tool - the price for all versions has just jumped up substantially, within the past few days. Sales campaign.

I should have bought one of these as a young man, would have saved a lot of time. To old now for it to matter (sigh).
