Review: Five Stars - Great
Review: Crap! - I love Starrett, They are my favorite brand for engineering tools, but these are utter rubbish! They are either poorly made in China or they are fake copies, They are literally falling apart and have barely been used under hobby use.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Five Stars

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by W***E on 1 March 2024*

I have two other sets of telescoping gauges that even after spending a lot of time cleaning, deburring, oiling, etc, they still had "crunchy" spots and the lockup is inconsistent. This makes it difficult to get consistent repeatable measurements. The Starrett set has a very different feel to them. The lockup is very light and the same each time. This makes it easier to take accurate measurements that you can repeat 3-4 times in the same spot and get the same measurement time and again. This makes for more trust in the measurement you are getting on critical parts. The price is a little hard to swallow when it is about 10X the cheap imports and still 2X the Mitutoyo, but I've also heard a lot of complaints and bad reviews of the Mitutoyos as well as the Brown and Sharp offerings. I guess the extra cost is worth it if the fit, finish and function is top notch.
