I bought a Fluke 8840A bench multimeter recently. Its manual has comprehensive electrical schematics of the internals! Not only that, a significant portion of the manual is taken up by explaining exactly how each portion of the circuit works. Mine didn't come with the AC option, but if I wanted to I could build one without having to reverse engineer the schematic. As someone who didn't grow up in that era (was born in the late nineties) that's pretty wild to me.

In that domain, also, the Swanson speed square. Comes with a 'blue book' full of all kinds of tips and tricks and measurements.
