I'd done a lot of that in the past too. I've gotten most of my substandard tools gifted away now.
Nice telescopic gauges BTW. I have the Starrett versions and they're good, but I think the feel on the Mitutoyo is a bit better, more positive.

I've got a couple of mics sitting in Ken's basement that I cannot seem to give away...

And neither can I. Oh wait, I think I did actually give them away. I'll have to check.
Add to the pile a Mitutoyo 103-225 10" to 11" that I have and doubt I'll ever use.
Such a quandary I have: A set of cheap Chinese made 0-1" through 11-12" in an equally cheap wooden case which my late dad had bought from Enco. It sits on a workbench and I've used ONE, once. I had initially thought I'd build up a set of the Mitutoyo 103's to replace the whole set, but then realized the set is perfectly fine for what I need, has all the standards and is in a compact place. So I got one Mit in a huge wooden clamshell case that collects dust and probably rust.
