Review on πŸ“ Lufkin W606PM Executive Diameter Millimeters: Accurate and Durable Measurement Tool by Jeff Rhodes

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality - questionable resolution compared to the inch version

The product quality of the measuring tape is very high, as is the inch version. I bought many of these to measure the diameter of production material. The only regret was the resolution, these tapes only give 1mm (ie 0.04 inch) spacing - 0.5mm (0.02 inch) max with interpolation. Inch tapes provide 0.01 inch (ie 0.25 mm) resolution with a maximum of 0.005 inch (0.125 mm) interpolation. It seems to me that the intervals on the tape are very large, and they could easily give them a comparable 0.25mm resolution by printing a few extra lines on the scale. Of course, the 0.005 inch error worries me, and that's just a manual backup for more advanced measuring machines (like laser micrometers). The end result is a quality build that works great if resolution isn't an issue for you. . Fast delivery and good packaging so everyone thought I just bought a small book.

Pros
  • Length measurement
Cons
