Fowler 52-240-001-1, Outside Inch Micrometer with 0-1" Measuring Range

Getting ready to do a first time engine rebuild and these fit the bill. Accurate enough for my purposes. Although the storage case leaves a lot to be desired, it does serve its storage purpose.

Won't use every day but seems very high quality and accurate. I bought for an engine rebuild and any other thing I might use it on.

I've been a CNC machinist for 4 years now. I bought a used basic set from a guy who retired from the company I worked for. Everything was used and abused but a couple high dollar items made it all worth it.I never really needed the 0-6 mics because I was working on a big mill where bore sizes were 20" or greater so all tools were company supplied. Then recently I switched shifts and machines and need my 0-6 set daily. The used ones I had were very inconsistent and gummed up and had obviously been dropped more than once I wasn't ready to drop over $1k for starrett so I got these. They've been great. They are plenty accurate even against my companies setting standards vs the standards that came in the case.The lever lock isn't as good as Mitutoyo but they suffice. For this price point on a 0-6 with standards, carbide tips, and tenths readouts, you can't beat the price.

I've had these mics for a month and am very happy with them. They're smooth, sturdy, & accurate. I routinely machine steel shafts holding +.001/-.000 and they work great. I would save your money on higher end mics and choose these. My only complaint which prevented me from giving a 5 star rating was the box, it's kinda cheap and had wood burrs all over the place. I sanded them all down and now it's fine.

Good read out. Works well

These things are surprisingly top quality. I used them daily at my job holding .ooo4+/- tolerances. They pass every 6 months they are recertified. I am so suprised to find a pair this cheap with thisbgood of quality. The case is even holding up very well. Just get use to the texture of the case before carrying one handed. And whatever you do tell your co worker no when they want to borrow them. Hahaha

Decent quality. Used to measure brake rotors on a smaller car and my house's window thickness.

Used this to build an engine. So, I would have to say it was well worth the money I paid for it.

J'ai vérifié le micromètre avec plusieurs épaisseur de cale étalon entre 4 et 5 in. Le maximum d'écart était de .0002in. C'est très satisfaisant.

Les micromètres sont très précis et solide. La boite es fragile et j’ai du retourné le premier set que j’ai reçu car la boite était cassé a l’intérieur... J’était pas sur au début parce que le 0-1 et le 1-2 sont a friction mais finalement je les adore.

Great micrometer. Great price!

These seem to be decent quality micrometers. The ad says .001" graduation, but they are in fact .0001" graduations. The quality of the case is pretty low, and the micrometers can rattle around in the box. The fit and finish is quite good for the price. The larger 3"-4", 4"-5", 5"-6" mics have ratchet thimbles and they feel better than the 2 smaller mics with friction thimbles. Out of the box they seem to need slight adjustments, and I will have to check them with higher quality standards when I get the chance.

Nice mics for the moneyThey are accurate and all the standards and mics are well calibrated.Wood case has poor craftsmanship
