Review on πŸ” Precision Fowler NSK 72 224 103 Micrometer Set: Accurate Tools for Precise Measurements by Edwin Kreps

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Amazing set of 0 thru 3 mics

For the money I think everyone should have one of these, I would love to find one in a zero thru 6 set. The fit and finish is excellent and the only gripe I can say is that the heat shield is a thin cheap plastic that screws onto the micrometer frame, not glued. Of course, I just got lucky when I first used the 1-inch mic, I accidentally slipped off the edge of the bench and it missed my rubber floor mat by about an inch and the plastic on the side broke off. The good news is that even after hitting the concrete that damaged the plastic heat shield quite badly, the only thing I can say is that I tested it straight away using the standard that came with the kit , and it came back in perfect calibration. The fit and finish is amazing and would make a great addition to any tool kit that comes with standards and sizing guides. You have a ratcheting thimble that seems a bit loose for life to recover as tight as it takes to read zero, but it might just need a little tweaking of the calibration. Overall very happy I was able to find a set from 0 to 6 inches.
