This does appear to be a legitimate Mitutoyo indicator. As with most Mitutoyo tools it is extremely smooth and well built. This model has a lug back. DOES NOT include limit markers as the listing states. (I believe only metric Mitutoyos come with limit markers) Does not come in a case, just a cardboard box with a plastic insert.

As exspected you get what you pay for. I use this indicator every day. I'm a Machinist in the steam turbine and nuclear power industry. So my equiptment has to perform at the highest levels. It's not a starrett but for the money it gets the job done well. The action is smooth and repeats every time. You can spend alot of money on junk or cry once on the good stuff. I only buy starrett mitutoyo noga. I've learned over the 30 plus years of machining if you want good parts coming out you have to invest up front on good indication equiptment. Your cuts will only be as good as your setup.

This is my first quality dial indicator. I've been purchasing the cheaper HF versions because well, I needed it now and the store was just down the road. In this town it's the only place I can find a dial indicator. Is there a difference between the cheap and a Mitutoyo? absolutely! the movement is silky smooth and readings are repeatable. Some of the cheaper variants I've picked up on Amazon; and I ended up sending back because the readings were not repeatable. I'd evaluate the indicator on a 1 2 3 block. Oddly enough, I find the indicator so nice I'm afraid to use it on my lathe; which is why I purchased it in the first place.
