Buying Used Starrett Tools
Starrett instruments are excellent used purchases — the quality is high enough that well-maintained tools remain accurate through decades of use. Test on known standards before purchasing. Check micrometers for spindle play and smooth travel. Verify combination squares for accuracy (test against a reliable reference). Starrett used at reasonable prices represents excellent value for precision work.
