I have a fantastic Moore & Wright engineers square set and a lovely combination set...I'll never sell them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carosio Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 Have a word (or call in) at Riley's Tools near Banners, Attercliffe, they've seen just about every engineering tool under the sun. Starrett are the famous American makers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I too have a m&W combination set complete with the small trannels all in a M&W wooden box which is getting warped now but still does the job Iv been having a clear out of my stuff as I hardly get in the workshop now due to health issues but certain things like this I dont know how to price because a couple of years ago I had a new M&W 1-2 mic and it was no better than the jap crap you can buy from anywhere now days. The steel used back then was a whole different quality and composition was it not.. Os Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
