Anybody have a micrometer I can borrow?

[honestabe]

I need a micrometer to borrow so I can measure my bucket shims. I'm in northern Washington, so anywhere between Everett and Canada would be ideal. I don't need it for long. Please give me a call or text me ASAP. Thank you.

I have few Mitiutoyo's 0-1" laying around but sorry I don't live anywhere near Wa.

I think I can just take the shims to a local auto shop and "rent" their micrometer for a couple bucks if I use it there. I'll try that today. thanks anyways bro.

Duane, you are funny. Yes I know my budget is extremely tight, but that doesn't mean I wouldn't have prefered to just buy the tool versus borrowing it.

So did you want someone to deliver it to you or ship it?

Should have bought one. :3d_frown:

 

[honestabe]

I know I should have bought one Nate, but if I can borrow vs. buying a tool right now I will.

job maybe? really adam, u cant be a cheap supra owner. they dont last too long that way.

 

[mattsplat72]

Shit I had one. I just didnt get your text in time....

 

[honestabe]

Matt (HighNitro), I get what my Supra needs, but I'm on a fixed income and for something like a micrometer I'd rather borrow the tool than buy it right now.

Matt (Mattsplat72), check your PM's. I'll call you tomorrow.

I'd rather borrow a decent one than buy a cheapie that I can't trust...

(I'm assuming NAPA or another mechanic would have a much nicer one than harbor freight...)

I've been meaning to pick up a micrometer myself, but damn they can be pricey for a tool I will use but once every other year...

 

[honestabe]

The one I borrowed was very nice, top quality. In my house we have a rule. If you need it once borrow it, if you need it 3 times, buy it. No reason for me to buy a micrometer right now since God only knows when the next time I'd use it would be.

 

[mattsplat72]

Yeah Not going to help you sorry

I see nothing wrong with barrowing anything if it is need to get the job done the correct way. If you have resources might as well use them.

If he would have went to Harbor Freight and bought one of the "china c-clamps" it would have been a waste of time and money since is wouldn't have been calibrated anyways. Plus it would have probably only read down to .001" witch is a waste for a micrometer.
