Shinwa 150 mm Rigid (15 mm x 0.5 mm) Zero Glare Satin Chrome Stainless Steel Machinist Engineer Ruler/Rule with Graduations in mm and .5mm Model 13005

Use it at work, I'm a machinist, and this thing is quality. Nice and straight - no annoying bend to it, clear markings, good thickness, hard to go wrong for the price. Wasn't sure if I was going to like the curved end without markings, but it's not an issue at all.

I love this little ruler, it's great for checking mm lengths before buying screws or various hardware. Especially as a person that uses freedom units, I need this since I can't visualize metric.The marks are engraved and painted, I believe they will hold up to the test of time. I've had mine for a few months now and it's working great, but I can't say if this is a 'buy once, cry once' kind of tool.

I love the non-reflective, anti-glare finish. The contrasting color and font size given incrementally for multiples of 50 is very useful in making the measurement easy to read. It is lightweight and small, but strong, not flimsy. I also appreciate the conversion charts on the reverse side. I like the addition of a hole on one end so the tool can be hung. All in all, this is a clever, well-designed tool. I love it and would consider buying other items from this manufacturer in the future.

Well made. Seems accurate. Like the finish. Just wish it had both metric and imperial.

Well made, easy to read. Made in Japan. I really like it. Good value.

The MM side of the ruler is very well done. It was hard for me to remove from the Protective Plastic Sleeve. I ditched the Sleeve. The Conversion Side of the Ruler is badly smudged to makes it impossible to read. This may be an isolated incident. ???? This works for me. The MM ruler is there and reads well.

I've always used these types of rulers so i dont have to guess what socket or wrench i need for bolts i have 3 different ones i keep on my work keychain

Very nice finish. Accurate. Thickness could be thicker than 0.5 mm(0.75 for example).On 300mm version thickness is 1mm(great). On the back side metric/inch etc info is not useful. Anybody who use precise ruler know all this data. I would use second side for ruler marks also. As for me it’s 4.5 star. Not perfect but very good ruler!
