[QUOTE=Somersetmaker;Dennis - I just received a 999 576 and it has on one face cm / mm and inches and a load of blurb on the back. That's what prompted this plea.[/QUOTE]

Well, mine is innocent of all those faults, but it is very old (like me). If you're unhappy, why not try Walshes TR416. They are good for tools and the illustration has their name engraved on it. £1.66+VAT. Dennis.
