Review on Mitutoyo 188 151 Screw Pitch Gage by Dale Toth

I have never bought a Mitutoyo product before. Now I'm impressed. The retail photo provided for this product is inaccurate as it shows black plastic handles instead of steel. As I prefer steel, no complaints. The processing quality is excellent. The numerals are easy to read as they are stamped into the steel and not engraved as is common on inferior instruments. With this tool, Mitutoyo has also made a great tool available in addition to its renowned craftsmanship. I chose Mitutoyo over Starrett because the quality was comparable but the price was not. Starrett was a few dollars less but produced half as many sheets. The tool came out of the box, sealed in a plastic bag and covered with a thin layer of oil.
