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

Great for setting up Guitars

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.

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

Great little scale.
