I have two as well. When you see the unfortunate many that don't you soon realize why there are so many problems in the world.

One of my first projects was a ring gauge for my wife. A long, tapered thing with a knurled handle marked out for various ring sizes. It will fix a squished ring, or make a smaller one a bit bigger. All of a sudden machine tools made sense to her.
