Mitutoyo 182-102 6" Steel Rule
The Mitutoyo 182-102 is a 6-inch steel rule with a hard satin chrome finish. It provides clear graduations in 1/100 in, 1/32 in, 1/50 in, and 1/64 in scales. The rule measures 150 mm in length and 76.2 mm in width. A vinyl pouch is included for protection and storage.
Upgrading from basic rulers or tapes
This rule replaces flexible tapes or low-contrast rulers where fine, repeatable readings are required. The jump is worth it when layout work demands simultaneous access to 16R graduation sets without flipping tools. It is not for users who need extended measuring length beyond 6 inches or digital readouts for data logging.
Limits of the 16R graduation system
The 16R graduation packs four fractional and decimal scales onto one face, which can crowd markings under poor lighting. Users needing metric-only or single-scale simplicity may find the density unnecessary. The satin chrome finish reduces glare but does not eliminate parallax error at extreme viewing angles.

Questions about this item
Does the 6.100-inch length and 1.000-inch width fit my tool drawer?
The rule measures 6.100 inches long by 1.000 inches wide, so it fits most standard tool drawers and pockets.
How do I keep the 1/64-inch and 1/100-inch graduations readable during daily use?
Wipe the satin chrome surface with a clean, dry cloth after each use; avoid abrasive cleaners that can wear the etched markings.
When should I replace the rule if the 1/32-inch and 1/50-inch lines wear down?
Replace it when the finest graduations — 1/64 in and 1/100 in — become difficult to read or show visible wear.
