Ah yes, the trusty Instron, can't be beat.

I personally get good mileage from my Dynacord Echocord Super S65.
I not troll/wacko/spammer.
Me no expat. Me foreigner.

An old, but interesting post. I like using bearing scrapers. They're an old too not well known but have a definite purpose. I can always spot a fellow engineer to respect when I say "we need to find the bearing scrapers" and he goes "oh wow we have some?!".
I not lawyer/teacher/CPA.

They are used to remove tiny amounts of metal when fitting parts together. They look innocuous and a good test to determine if the new guy actually knows his stuff.

When I took construction class, we used to test out the new guys as well — if they cut the board too short we would send them back to the tool shed to go get the board stretcher.
