Not to throw any dirt on your fire, but.....

When I entered the Business, the Last Word was just that. You either had a Last Word, or a mechanical lever and pivot that you had to read with a magnifying glass. The Starrett product was all there was. As time passed, it got superseded, Mitotoyu and then Federal and the like came along with better and better products. My 30 year old Mitu can swivel the point sideways and read both ways without moving a lever. There are now versions that read on the end rather than the side.

Yes, a Last Word is good, just no longer the best. Digital just doesn't seem the same, no needle swing.

Thanks, but I didn't buy it because I thought it was/is the best. I don't understand the reason for your post?
