Dial caliper fail

And I was proud of putting a new cord in my $20 flea market find Rockwell drill... I know that one day I'll regret repairing it, though. It's a single speed reversible 1/2 inch drive monster with a 3/4 X 8 inch pipe handle opposite of the trigger grip. It's not going to end well when It hangs up in something and I can't get away from it!
