Unlocking Precision: The Blue Point Micrometer Story—And Why Fowler Precision Belongs in the Conversation
When it comes to precision measurement tools, trust, accuracy, and performance are non-negotiable. While Blue Point micrometers—manufactured under the Snap-on umbrella—play a respected role in the metrology market, Fowler Precision brings over 75 years of innovation and reliability in precision instruments.
What Makes the Blue Point Micrometer Notable?
Blue Point’s line of digital micrometers (MIC1B, MIC2B, MIC3B, etc.) delivers exceptional clarity with 0–1", 1–2", all the way up to 4-5" ranges and a fine resolution of 0.0001"
Many of these tools offer user-friendly features like zero-set modes, ratchet clamping, insulated frames, and carbide-tipped surfaces—ideal for professional usage
These micrometers are solid competitors, especially in automotive and workshop settings where durability and accuracy are critical.
Why Fowler Precision Stands Out
At Fowler, every micrometer embodies decades of workmanship, precision engineering, and customer-centered design:
Take the Fowler 0-1" Digit Counter Point Micrometer:
Delivers pinpoint accuracy with 0.0001" / 0.001 mm graduations, a ratchet stop for consistent measuring force, and carbide-tipped, microlap-finished measuring points. The frame’s hammertone blue finish is built to last, and calibration is a breeze with a quick zero adjustment
Designed specifically for threading, milling, flutes, grooves, and hard-to-reach dimensions, it offers exceptional versatility
Fowler’s broader micrometer portfolio includes blade-style models like the 52-246 series—tailored for measuring within narrow grooves, "T" slots, and other challenging workpiece geometries
The Bottom Line
The Blue Point micrometer is a trusted tool in many toolboxes—but for unparalleled versatility, precision, and engineering maturity, Fowler Precision is the go-to. Whether you’re measuring thread accuracy, navigating tight recesses with blade micrometers, or seeking a micrometer built to excel under industrial demands, Fowler delivers.
