Made of high-quality brass, the slide gauge is non-magnetic and durable, specifically designed for long lasting use. The caliper-like device can measure up to 3.14”/80mm, making it ideal for determining the size, thickness, or diameter of a bead, gem, diamond, coin, wire and much more. These instruments are conveniently marked with measurements in both inch and millimeter increments. To use, start with the gauge in a closed position, with the zero lines matching up. To measure an item, slide the gauge open and fit the item in securely. The measurements will be indicated on the right side of the item. This measuring caliper is small and lightweight, making it an excellent tool for daily carry and everyday use. These gauges are often used to display dimensional information in science & engineering but is convenient for creative use as well. Jewelry designers use them to determine the size of beads and gems, while seamstresses easily create patterns and buttonholes. It’s also great for other DIY crafters and general home use too. Unlike digital or electric calipers, the brass gauge does not require batteries or die just when you need it. Handy and easy to use!

Seems like there is always a need to get a small accurate measurement on something. This time it was on a bead that I needed to order some of like size. Squinting at the mm markings on a ruler wasn't cutting it. Just received this gauge a week earlier than expected and it is great! Was a little stiff to use at first but asked the seller a question and got a response in just a couple of hours and the slide on the gauge has already loosened up. Love it!

Perfect gauge for the price. Two were included in the reasonable price. Just what I was looking for measures in inches and millimeters.

Small enough to carry in pocket. With taking a ~1/2" off the end, it will fit reasonably well in a wallet. I take this when shopping at the hardware store. It could even be engraved for a small gift.I dislike digital ones because they all/most read in 128ths of an inch making them uselessly hard to use. Does a proho ever need 128ths? 32nds even? I only need 16th accuracy. I find it irritating if it reads 57/128. Why do I need to round in my head? If you are a machinist, you are probably using metric. Plus my digital one's battery dies every year, which is every third time I used it as it is too big to carry.
