    That's a great collection. I don't understand the micrometer holder. How does it work?

    It's also supposed to keep the micrometer from heating up from your hands, to give the most accurate possible reading, among other things. Not essential in most shops, but a very nice to have if you ever do high-precision work. They were also often an apprenticeship project.
