Oh you know it. Private equity is a cancer on society.
The sale isn't going to close until sometime later this year so I may actually pull a couple hundred bucks out of savings to grab some sine bars, internal diameter gauges, center finders, etc. Bunch of various odds and ends that I haven't really needed enough to bother buying but really should have around in the future. If I'm gonna get it, it might as well be Starrett.
Welp time to go buy some brown and sharps
I audited a couple of boxes of their high dollar calibrated tape measures a couple years ago. I found one that was accurate to our checking block. They have been selling trash at a premium for a minute.
feck.
Good riddance.
