Mitutoyo SAE/Metric Precision Flexible Rule/Scale Review

A viewer suggested this rule to me and it is pretty nice, easily as good as a Starrett with just a different take on the fonts and etching. I like that it is dual reading decimal inches on one side and the other side has 1mm/.5mm graduations.
Mitutoyo #182-207

Definitely agree with your statement about Mitutoyo being the Starrett of Japan. Own three of their vernier calipers, and love them!

I just sold a brand new Mitutoyo digital caliper for $200 that I traded a Milwaukee fuel grinder for

I love mitutoyo stuff

Those are both really nice! For measuring equipment those are my 2 favorite brands. Micrometers next?

Shinwa is another Japanese manufacturer of quality rulers/scales.

Hello again Catus Maximus
Thank you for another Great Video.

[@basspromike]

To me the mitutoyo is harder to read because of the horizontal scratches on the base metal, might just be the camera though. Great video.

I have a mitutoyo digital caliper. Love it.

I've used both companies, and I consider them equal in quality.
Every time an inspector sends me an aircraft discrepancy measured in fractions...I reject it. Sorry, I don't do conversions. We build these things in tenths, and the scale we supply you with has 'em marked.

Nice video cat.

[@whiteblock8]

it would have 2.4 mm at the end which would confuse people

[@mlacher100]

They make a great backscratcher also!
