Mitutoyo 182-101, Steel Rule, 6" (4R), (1/8, 1/16, 1/32, 1/64"), 3/64" Thick X 3/4" Wide, Satin Chrome Finish Tempered Stainless Steel, Clear

Very nice and high quality highly recommend

Fantastic quality ruler with clear and precise markings. good thickness that won't bend easily. 6" in length is a good size for a desk or work bench utility ruler.

I lost my old 6" metal ruler that I kept handy on my table saw fence. It was of English manufacture and except for half the edges that were wasted on metric scales (useless in US woodworking) I felt it was adequate. I found the Mitutoyo 182-101 with only imperial graduations and am now aware of what I had been missing. The thin, crisp markings and satin finish make the Mitutoyo so easy to read. The inch numerals are clear and read left to right and right to left. The fractional scales are so precise that two of the engraved lines will easily fit between the marks on the 1/64" scale. Most of the time the 64ths scale is almost a blur on lesser makes. The edge machining presents a ground square surface and makes a precise pencil or knife line yet still feels comfortable to the hand with an almost undetectable yet adequate easing of the corners. I have other Mitutoyo products, all durable and precise, this ruler did not disappoint.

Exactly what I needed, excellent quality, easy to read and economical enough to have several around. Far better than the cheap stuff they have at the hardware store, night and day for nearly the same price…

It's just what was advertised. Works great

for the price (about 15 dollars shipped at the time i purchased) this is a great ruler. in comparison to a starrett i would say it is of slightly lower quality. the satin finish has some shine to it where the starrett basically has no shine. however if i had to choose a winner for the crispness of the marking i would have to give it to mitutoyo. and finally i dont care for the extra crisp edges of the mitutoyo. they are bordering on sharp. the starrett is nice and crisp but not sharp, with no burrs, and no rounded off edges. overall a beautiful ruler but if you are going to be using it every day id spend the extra 5 or 10 dollars on the starrett

Great little scale.

Best markings I Haver seen on a 6” scale

Great for setting up Guitars

Nice sharp edges. Good clean markings. Easy to read and finish prevents glare from lighting

Always top of the line product from Mitutoyo.

Very happy with this rule! I had one prior to this and lost it somewhere at my work site and HAD to get another. One thing though in the picture it isn’t exactly the same product. Mitutoyo is not made in USA it is in fact made in Japan. The pictures aren’t exactly what you get however what it is you end up getting is what I was wanting and am very happy. Great rule and should last forever unless you lose it as did I.

Very good quality ruler. This rigid ruler will hold up for a very long time.
