Mitutoyo 293-185-30 Quantumike, Micrometer, DIGIMATIC, 0-1, IP65.00005, NO SPC, Black/Gray

Quick and accurate. I will definitely buy another mitutoyo product.

This thing is quick and precise good value for the money and it saves you time you dont need to have three micrometers in front of your machine anymore

A little clunky compared to your basic vernier mic but the speed and smoothness of the barrel and the ability to read the display and move on vs having to calculate the reading on a vernier scale makes a little clunkiness worth it. Haven’t dropped it yet. When I do I’ll report back on its durability.

Very useful in a home shop when one is constantly measuring and checking dimensions in both imperial and metric measurement. The Quantumike has a faster screw than most other mikes, which allows faster measurements to be made. Due to its accuracy, one needs to occasionally check the zero and to clean the tips. I find using a single sheet of paper and closing the tips onto the paper is a very effective way to clean the anvils of fluids or chips. Its amazing to measure things to tenths of a thousandth with little drama. Yes, one can do that with many old school micrometers, but this unit has very good display quality, which is helpful in poor lighting and declining eyes. Its very handy to switch from imperial to metric at the push of a button - no more calculator blunders.

Very light action and works beautifully.

Fit and finish is amazing. Accuracy is dead on. My inspection report had measured values of 0 across the board, and gage blocks confirm it. I wish there was an on off button though, but it has a 20 minute auto shut off and you can use the thimble lock to keep it from turning on from bumps. Overall very impressed, glad I went with this over a cheaper option.

This was my first review:

This mic is very easy to use. It has a rapid travel.

I appreciate The geared up thimble and the bumps for grip. Improved my speed and accuracy at work manufacturing flight hardware.

I opened this micrometer today. It is packed in paper that has been treated chemically and is identified as a health hazard. I had the micrometer for only 1/2 hour. It stopped working and now reads ERR-5. The included documentation consists of a few cartoons. No support information or contact is included. I searched for online help, but everything is for people in companies. You cant fill out a support request without a company name. I did so anyway and have not yet heard back. This has been a money losing and frustrating experience.
