Hi Joe,
It must be my Scottish blood, but if something is that fragile, it does =
not deserve a place in my tool box.
I have used a Moore and Wright micrometer, for 26 years. It is made in =
Sheffield, and is probably comparable to a Starrett.
I also have a dial calliper, with a zeroing feature, it also measures =
inches or mm, which is becoming more of a requirement in our trade.
They have had minor droppings, with no apparent damage, although not =
from height to a concrete floor.
Just how much of a drop was this?
I guess ALWAYS, means after the first two drops.  :-)

  I would like to recommend the Mitutoya Dial micrometer. As it's spring =
loaded, it is excellant for sizing cloth, etc. Also, it is very easy to =
use when sizing wire, center pins, etc. It's only failing is, that it's =
very fragile! If you drop it, it's toast! It comes with a lanyard, which =
I ALWAYS use, wrapped around my wrist. (I've broken 3 of them!) The cost =
is around $100.00 and is available from most Machinery Supply Stores. =
(Locally, it's available from Hall Tool, Portland OR) It's one of those =
tools that I use a lot.
  I also use a digital caliper, from the same company, that I find very =
useful in the shop.
  Regards,=20
