"A micrometer screw gauge is an instrument used to accurately measure the diameter of a thin wire or the thickness of a sheet of metal. As a machinist, I must be able to accurately use this tool as I frequently measure very small dimensions. Accuracy is very important in this line of work and the micrometer screw-gauge is the best tool for that type of accuracy."
