yup, you said it ogre, your OLD tools work flawlessly. trouble is the new stuff isn't as well built. take a bubble level for instance. there is a bubble between a couple of lines. in the old tool line the bubble fit distinctly between the two lines. on newer stuff, unless you pay a lot more, the bubble is smaller than the space between the 2 lines, so there is room for error. when you look at the bubble in the level straight on or from straight above you will see the bubble isn't quite in the middle but if you look at it from a bit of an angle you could easily be fooled. a digital level has no room for error, the screen says what it says from whatever angle you are looking from.
