There are plenty of graduations in Metric and inches. You can measure in several axis's with ease. String height is very easy to measure now with this ruler. Setting pickup height is a breeze with this ruler as it sticks to the highest pole pieces. I've also used it as a fret rocker and it worked quite well. The graphics are nice and clean. On one side, they provide a string action table with standards for acoustic, electric and bass. Very Handy!
I do have feeler gauges to check neck relief however, the Baroque has a .010" graduation that you could use to measure string height at the 8th fret. Overall, this is an outstanding gauge/ruler for a very reasonable price.
I saw some reviews that criticized accuracy (off by >.01"). Considering the price and how this is made, I can believe it, but my gauge was accurate. I liked that the metal was sturdy and won't bend. Compared to all the other choices for this kind of gauge (most of which cost more), this was a good value for me.
Well, that's where this handy little tool comes in. Small enough to fit in your guitar case and strong enough to last forever (probably — I've only had it a couple of weeks) this is the perfect measurer to check your guitars action, find out if you need an adjustment, and then measure that adjustment with precision. You should check online for you instruments recommended setup and work towards those numbers with small adjustments for your personal playing preferences.
You'll also find this tool invaluable if you change string gauge, requiring multiple changes to your bridge and pickup height.
Check YouTube for tips on guitar setup — there's a wealth of information out there.
There are other methods out there, such as feeler gauges (which are always oily) and plain old steel rulers (which don't have the versatility of this tool for this task and are much more likely to be borrowed/lost when you need them since they won't live happily ever after in your guitar case). Of all the methods I've tried over the last 30-years this one is the best.

Non mi ero mai preoccupato di quanto potesse essere preciso ma, leggendo alcune recensioni (addirittura negative), mi sono incuriosito e ho misurato con due calibri, uno digitale e uno analogico.
Inutile dire che sia i calibri che il righello restituiscono identica misura.
Aggiungo che se il righello o i miei occhi malati e/o inesperti dovessero causare una lettura sbagliata di qualche 20esimo di mm, il setup si riesce a farlo in ogni caso, in passato lo facevo con strumenti di fortuna e riuscivo uguale.
