Hello, everyone.

This is Enta.

The news is all about the election.

We in the construction industry are in a line of work that is directly tied to politics and natural disasters.

Politics, in particular, has a huge impact.

I’m not saying we need to boost the economy even more, but please give us the construction budget (public works budget)—even if it’s just half of what it was before the Koizumi administration. Haha.

Just that alone makes the workload go way up, doesn't it? lol

My current workload is about the same as it was in Showa 54.

I made my debut in this industry around Heisei 7, so that was right at its peak.

It’s kind of rolling downhill from there, isn’t it?

We’d like them to raise it a little more, wouldn’t we? It’s already been about 50 years since they were put into service during the period of rapid economic growth.

With the service life coming to an end soon, if they don't give us a massive budget boost, there's a high chance the slope will collapse. (Probably lol)

Won't that block the road? Won't a natural dam form in the river? (Probably lol)

Allocate the budget to public works! lol

But that's beside the point.

Bolt Scale

We started talking about what the special box for the Bolt Scale is called, and come to think of it, it seems I hadn't posted any photos of it...

Also, while the bolt scale in the catalog is an older model, we’ve received feedback that it has too few markings.

So, I thought I'd show you the actual item.

It looks something like this.

This A4-sized case stores the arrow plates (D19, D22, D25, and D29) and scale plates (plates with markings) all at once.

That said, since it's made of cardboard, it's vulnerable to external forces and water.

As you can see, the scale is marked in 100-mm increments to the left and right of the center.

So, the width of the scale plate is 200 mm.

The colors are also a bit more subdued than in the older models.

Because it's very actress-like, but...Looking good in photos is the most important thingThat's why.

As you might expect, it has a matte finish and doesn't shine.

The numbers might glow a little, though. lol

If you ask for the special box when placing your order, we'll send it to you.

By the way, it can also handle larger sizes, such as D32.

See you later.
