Mitutoyo 182-123 Steel Rule 12 in 5R Rigid Stainless

Product Description

The MITUTOYO 182-123 is a rigid stainless steel rule designed for precise linear measurement in trade and industrial applications. Measuring 12 inches overall length and 1 inch wide, it features a 5R graduation style with three scales: 1/100 inch, 1/32 inch, and 1/64 inch. The satin chrome-plated finish reduces glare for easier reading in variable lighting conditions. At 0.05 inches thick, the rule maintains flatness and rigidity across its full length without flex. It is used by machinists, pipefitters, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general tradespeople who need a reliable, hand-held measuring reference on the job.

This rule is suited for bench work, layout, and field measurement tasks where quick, accurate inch-based readings are required. The horizontal scale orientation and 1-inch width provide clear visibility of all graduation marks. The rigid construction makes it appropriate for scribing and layout on flat surfaces. It is a standard hand-tool addition for any trade professional who works with dimensional measurement in residential or commercial settings.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Store flat to prevent warping and keep the satin chrome surface clean and dry to maintain finish integrity. Avoid using the rule as a cutting guide with sharp blades, as this can damage the graduated edge and reduce measurement accuracy.
