Mitutoyo182-105, Steel Rule, 6" X 150mm, (1/32, 1/64", 1mm, 1/2mm), 3/64" Thick X 3/4" Wide, Satin Chrome Finish Tempered Stainless Steel

When I bought this ruler a few years ago, I had actually come looking for a Starrett, but was put off by the prices of Starretts, knowing I wouldn't be using the ruler that often, so I went with this Mitutoyo instead, based on reviews.The other night, my buddy and I started talking rulers and measuring tools while we were hanging out in his shop and decided to compare my Mitutoyo (this model) to his $35 Starrett 6-inch ruler (the equivalent to this one). We used his $200-some-dollar Starrett electronic caliper (he has way more high end measuring tools than I do and is a measuring-accuracy fanatic) to compare measurement markings on both rulers. We could find no difference, looking at them under bright light, using a magnifying glass and being very careful. We had time on our hands and a beer or two under our belts. :-)In our opinion, at least as far as this 6-inch ruler goes, it's as accurate as an equivalent Starrett ruler that costs over twice as much. The construction, durability, and readability is just as good also. It didn't cause him to rethink being a long-time Starrett fan, but he admitted this is a good ruler that's accurate and built well enough to do anything his Starrett will do with results just as good. I'm going to keep an eye on his tools going forward, to see if anything that says "Mitutoyo" shows up in his collection.TL,DR: This is a very accurate and well made ruler, on par with with one of the best names in the business, and will serve you very well for anything you need a 6-inch ruler to do.

Amazing ruler! Clean, firm, strong and accurate. Worth the money for top quality.

Solidly built, accurate, and easy to read. Probably going to wind up buying several other sizes now, after ordering the 6" as a test case.

WOW FOR $12 I did not know if it would be legit mitutoyo... it is and the quality is PERFECTION! The markings are perfect and the best part is the edges they are near mirror finish. So not only is it a great machinist scale it is a great straight edge to check straigtness. I will be buying a second right away. MITUTOYO IS THE BEST BRAND IN DIGITAL ELECTRONIC MEASURING TOOLS.They are second to none and priced better than most. Their dial indicators are excellent though I stick with interrapid and brown and Sharpe for those . Other than that lightly is king their ELECTRONIC stuff is amazing. They go to the 5th decimal place and have amazing repeatability. Garrett and brown and Sharpe make electronic calipers and mics and charge more money but done work as good and some have inferior resolution (4 decimal places)Lightly even offers a 6 decimal p.ace mics in 0to1 inch but it's like $1300 but has CMM accuracy. Mitutoyo offers extreme precision for a fair price, 10 years ago they were common but starett and brown and Sharpe were the best sellers. Now lightly is the most owned and for good reason

Quality product.

Really nice one. I bought another one after used the first one.Pricey but you pay the price only once and spend years to enjoy it.

As others have mentioned, this is a well crafted, sturdy product. It would be a 5 star product if the ruler were wider. It's about half as wide as a regular ruler and, while well crafted with good numbering, I found it difficult to read with my over 40 eyes.I bought this, as an intermediate woodworker, so I didn't have to constantly "Google" mm to inches conversions. Many hardware installation instructions, especially with some of the better made hardware, are written in "mm" measurements. Having this ruler on hand was meant to simplify, and be exact, in the installation process.Though smaller than I'd prefer, it's workable and is a great product that I'll find many uses for. I simply wish that it had been wider for ease in handling and potentially having larger numbers. It's a quality product though and I'm glad that I have it.

If you Need a precision ruller then Mytutoyo is the GOAT !!!Hey this is a ruller to sleep with 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣Stwemac is also very Very Very good and has the numbers deeply Ingraved !!!!!
