Starrett micrometers of this vintage are the best analog micrometers ever made. This 436 is graduated in ten -thousandths and carbide faced anvil and spindle. NOTE carefully that it was made BEFORE Starrett started pinching the pennies and eliminated having their brand - name, the model number and size stamped in raised-polished steel lozenges on front and back, replacing that with a shiny metallic sticker on the front side that can be peeled off, and before they relocated the lock ring. I am an old man and I still have the twin to this Starrett T436XRL -- 1 micrometer that I bought as a young machinist nearly 60 years ago. Although I prefer the Starrett 226 model in sixes 2 -- 6 inch, and the 230 in 0 -- 1 inch for their beauty, the 436 is just as accurate and durable. The only significant difference is that its spindle is larger diameter (0.270 "), whereas the 226 and 230 are 0.250", so they can measure in slightly tighter spaces. I emphasized that this particular micrometer is the older style with the name, model and size stamped in the steel of the frame and lock ring centered in the frame. Personally, I would not buy the newer Starret 436 with the shiny sticker.Read full review

Item was used, but in great shape. A little bit of lube & cleaning and it was ready to go. Checked with Mic tolerance disk and it was spot on. Ready for use.

Got it promptly, no rust, and gage block shows it right on. Wrench was in good shape. One observation though, the "original box" was for a 230-1 micrometer.
