The Fowler EZ-Read steel digit micrometer has a choice of measurement range and a flat anvil/spindle pair for general purpose measuring. The digit display has 0.0001" graduation intervals and an accuracy of 0.0002" for precise readings. Carbide-tipped measuring faces provide wear resistance. A friction thimble provides smooth and quiet operations, and is suitable for one-handed operation. Friction-style thimbles stop turning when the spindle comes into contact with the workpiece, providing constant force for consistent measurements between operators. The insulated steel frame helps reduce temperature-related expansion or contraction providing for accurate measurements. The micrometer includes a wrench and fitted case. Micrometers 2" and above include a standard.

Micrometers are precision measuring instruments that use a calibrated screw to measure distances. These measurements are translated into large rotations of the screw that are then able to be read from a scale or a dial. Micrometers are typically used in manufacturing, machining, and mechanical engineering. There are three types of micrometer: outside, inside, and depth. Outside micrometers may also be called micrometer calipers, and are used to measure the length, width, or outside diameter of an object. Inside micrometers are typically used to measure interior diameter, as in a hole. Depth micrometers measure the height, or depth, of any shape that has a step, groove, or slot.

The Fred V. Fowler Company manufactures inspection and measurement instruments such as electronic indicators, calipers, bore gages, and digital scales. The company, founded in 1946, is headquartered in Newton, MA.
