Mitutoyo182-111, Steel Rule, 150mm, (1mm, 1/2mm), 1.2mm Thick X 19mm Wide, Satin Chrome Finish Tempered Stainless Steel

This metric rule is extremely well made: accurate, readable, thick enough to be sturdy and rigid but not heavy. The best feature is having the numbers run in opposite directions on the left and right sides and to have them on both faces of the ruler. Taking measurements is much more efficient!

The Mitutoyo steel rule is an absolute marvel of precision and durability! From the moment I began using it, I was struck by the impeccable craftsmanship and attention to detail. The measurements are consistently accurate, making it an invaluable tool in my workshop for a wide range of applications, from woodworking to engineering. The steel construction ensures it can withstand the rigors of daily use, and its sleek design and clear markings make it a pleasure to work with. Mitutoyo has undoubtedly set a high standard with this steel rule, and I can't recommend it enough with a full five-star rating. It's a testament to quality and precision that every craftsman and engineer should have in their toolkit.

Ruler is very rigid and straight. Markings are very clear. Got this for measuring parts in papercraft models; would definitely get another if needed.

95% of my use for a ruler is for short lengths and millimeter measurements. For me, it is perfect: length, width, thickness, with the same scale on each side. Zero flexibility, and it can be used to check if something is flush.

I bought this because it reads true from both ends and both faces, which is a real timesaver not having to reorient the ruler every time I pick it up. I was pleasantly surprised by its heft and rigidity. The finish makes it easy for my tired eyes to read. And when I do need a little more precision, the 0.5 mm markings are convenient.I’m glad I bought it.

This is a quality, Japanese rule, not a piece of junk from you-know-where, comparable to my Starrett.

The product is great if only Amazon delivery person could have delivered it to my address and not my neighbor. On top of that my other two deliveries were delayed to tomorrow. The 5 stars are for product but I give Amazon 1/2 star for their deliveries. Their service has been steadily slipping over the past 2 years even when I order enough for overnight delivery it's almost always a day later. Amazon, please try harder or at least be more accurate on delivery times.

The ruler is good, but if you are going to calibrate with declaration of confomirty keep in mind that manufacturer gives little error tolerance, so it may not pass calibration. I had to purchase 2 times, since the first was not fit for ISO 17025 certificate
