At 18 inches in length, it allows measurements in deep bores, long shafts, or hard-to-access work areas where a standard micrometer frame cannot reach. The 167-158 delivers accuracy up to 0.00025 inches, maintaining the tight tolerances required in precision machining, inspection, and metrology environments. A heat insulating handle is included to minimize thermal expansion errors caused by hand contact during measurement. This extension rod is handled by machinists, quality control technicians, and tool and die professionals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 167-158 is used in precision measurement applications where outside micrometers must be extended to reach deep or elongated workpiece features. Common scenarios include measuring long cylindrical parts, extended shafts, and workpieces that exceed the direct reach of a standard micrometer anvil and spindle. The included heat insulating handle is particularly useful during extended measurement sessions on the shop floor or in temperature-controlled inspection rooms where thermal stability directly affects reading accuracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e18-inch extension length for deep or hard-to-reach measurement locations\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlat end geometry for compatibility with outside micrometer setups\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccuracy up to 0.00025 inches for high-precision measurement work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIncludes heat insulating handle to reduce thermal expansion error from hand contact\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDesigned for use with outside micrometers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned for use with outside micrometers.

Ensure the micrometer is zeroed and verified before attaching the extension rod. Handle the rod using the included heat insulating grip to avoid introducing thermal growth errors into measurements. Clean all mating surfaces before attachment to prevent measurement offset from debris or burrs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAccuracy\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.00025 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEnd Shape\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flat\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFor Use With\u003c\/strong\u003e: Outside Micrometer\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHeat Insulating Handle Included\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yes\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalibrated\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MITUTOYO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 167-158\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MITUTOYO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51562712039730,"sku":"167-158","price":130.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/31c5abe4f0944c42ebb46d7a908337bd.jpg?v=1786482780","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mitutoyo-167-158-flat-end-micrometer-extension-rod","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
