It's Starrett so the fit and finish is beautiful. Besides, it works as intended. I am using this to hold the scriber on their # 56 Model Makers surface gage. My snug had gone missing.

I am very pleased with the performance of this product. I paid for a "NEW" item, but am suspicious that this part
was a "USED" item or that it was manufactured a long time ago and was not protected from external corrosion.
The product manufacturer's name; L.S. Starrett is always machined into the the part surface in distinct readable
lettering. On this part it is partially "faded";(not normal). Also the are spots of "minute" rust in the knurled knob and the internal areas. Typically "new" steel products are wrapped in a corrosion resistant paper or have a protectant known as cosmoline on the part. I am using this product, it performs well, but I feel that I paid a "new"price for a "used" part. I am in the machining trade and when I purchase a tool I want it to be "perfect"; if boughtas "new". When the part arrived the packaging was acceptable but the part was not in a corrosion prtective "wrap".
Thank you for allowing me to express myself. - Carl Johnson
