I bought an American Optical Stereo microscope at auction for under $100 with a light.

It is one of my favorite tools. Being able to see very small things is good.

It is not like a normal microscope where you have to use glass slides, it has great depth of field.

Awww man, why can't I find one of those. I literally have another tab open looking at 18" and 24" adjustable wrenches. Looks like you can buy a new SK or Wright 18" for about $80, or a Wright 24" for $90. Not terrible, but I'd love to find one for $30 at a yard sale or something.

What did you pay for that one?

I paid good money for it, $110.00 shipped, but I wanted a quality older brand in great shape.

Well that makes me feel a little better.
