They also provided NIST traceable versions at one time, and I can personally confirm the legitimate products hit the tolerances on reference optical parallels. I often buy these for friends kids that choose engineering in university.

Most local retail shops will continue to decline as people that can't use a phone or computer become more rare. Partially driven by the capital markets denial-of-service in lease monopolization by holding companies.

Note, I am not advocating for the situation, but we must accept that it is the new business reality. Even https://www.starrett.com/ is now re-selling import products alongside the classic US tool offerings.

Have a wonderful day =3
