Here are a couple of my micrometers
The top one is 0 -1" Moore & Wright still with it's original 'spectacle' case. Sort of a cheap M&W given to me as an apprentice 1965, no carbide ends and a plastic 'slip clutch' arrangement instead of the normal thimble.
The bottom one (0-25mm) is a CCC (cheap, cheerful and Chinese) must have cost all of $10, 16 years ago. Used nearly everyday for about 12 years - still going strong. I don't think I have ever dropped it, undone a few tight nuts with it
I'm kidding about the nuts
