I am rather interested in what brands of tools everybody uses in there shop. ive seen lots of shops use mitutoyo but my shop uses just as much Fowler as mitutoyo and how does that compare to other shops. if i didn't include your brand please leave a comment.
Not technically a machinist but when I was rebuilding engines we used a mixture of Snap-on and Mitutoyo.
The Snap-on sets were the "Rough and tumble" units that floated around the shop and the Mitu's were reserved almost exclusively for double checking the snap-ons when a measurement didn't make sense.
