    Micrometers: any eBay tips?

    Mitutoyo, Starret, Brown and Sharpe are the top 3. Make sure it doesnt look all beat up or rusty, and the measuring faces arent chipped. Other than that I dont know what else you can tell through pictures. Pretty much everything is adjustable on the Mitutoyos. I bought a 0-6 set used for $600...

The rest of them I usually use whatever I have laying around, motor oil, ATF, 3in1, air tool oil, pretty much anything and never had an issue. Seems the...
