IF YOU ARE ASSEMBLING SAY A DIFFERENTIAL, YOU REALLY DO NEED THIS TO SHOW THE MESH OF THE CROWN WHEEL AND PINION. IT HAS SO MANY OTHER USES AS WELL, BUT ALWAYS KEEP A TUBE IN YOUR TOOLBOX, IT WILL BE THERE FOR YOUR LIFETIME, AND IT DOES NOT SEEM TO EVER GO OFF EITHER! Review: So much easier than the tin - I bought the tin a couple of months ago, which seemed better value for money than the tube. But then I realised that all the reviewers of the tin who said they couldn't open it were 100% correct! Doesn't matter how cheap it is if you can't open the sodding thing. By comparison, this is much easier to use but I suspect it's not going to last very long. ## Features - STUARTS MICROMETER ENGINEERS BLUE ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00TYGIPXU | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 81,278 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 174 in Marking Tools | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (64) | | Date First Available | 24 Feb. 2015 | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 1 kg | | Item model number | B00TYGIPXU | | Manufacturer | RDGTOOLS | | Part Number | 684580 | | Product Dimensions | 30 x 30 x 30 cm; 1 kg | ## Images ![STUARTS Micrometer Engineers Blue "Tube" - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/5160aU7MdWL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What size is the tube (38g?)** A: not a large tube - half a tube of toothpaste size but you only use a little at a time **Q: How much content is inside?
