Mitutoyo182-207, Steel Rule, 6" X 150mm, (1/10, 1/100", 1mm, 1/2mm), 1/64" Thick X 1/2" Wide, Satin Chrome Finish Tempered Stainless Steel

Perfect pocket rule. And the decimals helped me get away from the fractions 💪🏾

I needed a ruler graduated in tenths of an inch to maeasure snow depth. This ruler is just the right thing.

This is a fine ruler, but I should point out the picture and the ad for this product specify "MADE IN USA" and country of origin as "USA". It is made in Japan, it says it on my packaging and ruler. Not a deal breaker for me. It is a very fine measuring tool and I have no doubt I will get many years of fine service from this product expertly made in Japan. Recommended

I had another scale I was using for a bit, but as a CNC machinist working in inches 80% of the time, having a pocket scale that reads first and foremost in decimal rather than fractions (1/4, 1/8, 1/16, 1/32, etc.) is really really useful.For the other 20%, when I'm working in metric, I've got mm right on the back too.Easy, uncomplicated, clear, and fits in my work shirt pocket next to my pocket flashlight and a couple of pens.Another perfect product from Mitutoyo.

I'm an amateur machinist and use little scales like these for a number of things in the machine shop. This scale is different than my others because it has metric on one side and imperial (decimals of an inch) on the other as opposed to fractions of an inch on one side and decimals of an inch on the other. It turns out this is perfect for quick measurements to verify layouts on parts, making a quick sketch to scale, or even quick and dirty lay out. While I don't use metric in the shop, if I needed to, it's nice to have a scale that has it as well.

Very high-quality product. And made in the USA

I was expecting the larger version, wider and thicker, but I should have read it more closely, I do like the gridation on this version.

Love it high quality and versatile. I use it all the time.
