I'm just a home-shop hobbyist, so they pass muster as far as I'm concerned. And they definitely see use!

It wouldn't hurt to have them checked and calibrated, even for home use. I'm guessing that you don't do much that would require that kind of precision but it's good to know where they're at.

Agreed. At the very least, I intend to have the standards checked.
