Got my latest set at sears.    They have several different styles.    Decent price.

Whatever you get, make sure that the numbers/measurements are not just printed on there.  On my first set the numbers wore off pretty easily when I got
oil etc on there.   The new ones I got at Sears look like the numbers/measurements were etched.
Yep, I'm the kid that figured out how to put things back together...eventually.

My local MAC Tool dealer stocks Motion Pro stuff......

... including them special little feeler gauges that actually fit the 550.
