    Owner Reviews, Ratings, Comments and Criticism
    ... This worked out as well as I had hoped. Allowed me to get accurate measurements in areas it would be difficult to use a tape measure, or where standard calipers were simply too short. Anyone who has ever tried to cobble together an accurate measurement of an open space with two rulers or, worse yet, a ruler and some other pre-measured object, will recognize how handy this tool is. ... A tape measure will do for some people, but for some purposes, the tape enters fudge factors and uncertainties that will have you designing something that won't fit properly. ... Only drawback... I can't figure out how I'm supposed to take advantage of the 1/128" or .05mm graduations. I am assuming that is my own lack of familiarity with tools such as these, but some simple instructions would have been helpful. I assume the manufacturer expects customers buying a product as specific as this to know how to use it. ... UPDATE: While showing this to a machinist, he pointed out the simplicity of the graduations. I don't have it in front of me, or a decent-sized picture, but when between two normal hash marks, which ever graduation lines up with a hash mark, that's the number of 128ths of an inch that get added to the measurement for fine resolution. ... VERY handy tool, but watch what you use to clean it. Hash marks are not engraved, and certain solvents could remove them, and if you lose writing, you lose usefulness.
