Although I wish it was longer.

I would like it to be longer, although given its fragility I understand why. Perhaps hardened plastic would be a better material choice (the tip bends easily if accidentally dropped), especially considering the cost.

Pros
  • Measuring and marking tools
Cons
  • Out of date

Expensive fragile tool in a paper envelope

Even the cheapest manufacturers in the world give you a decent cover for their dollar items. Not like Starrett. This company used to have an excellent reputation. They decided to ship this really expensive, very heavy and sharp-edged item in a paper envelope.

Pros
  • Linear measurement
Cons
  • You could have chosen a newer model

Still Made in the USA

Packaging still says Made in USA. I even called Starrett customer service and they also informed me that this cone is still made in Athol, Massachusetts. That's honestly a lot of money for a piece of metal, but I don't have to doubt the accuracy either, because that's what I need. In the measurement laboratory it is ideal for all slopes and markings.

Pros
  • Tools and Household Goods
Cons
  • Slightly wrinkled
