I absolutely agree. I just got a set of these recently because my 
machinist retired. He used to measure my stuff for free ('cause he knew 
I'd have him machine the stuff). But the telscope gauges are 
awesome. For $60, you're in fat city. I got a set from MSC.

I haven't used plastigauge for years, though. Maybe I'm just lazy. But I 
do measure things. And re-measure.
