As good as the more expensive steel scales
High quality with very legible markings.

Decent flexible ruler
Flexible enough it won't kink in tight spaces. Like the fact it is printed in inches on one side and decimal inch on the reverse.

Accurate quick reference scale
Everyday use in a machine shop setting. Invaluable and cost effective. No need for a high dollar scale where this suits the purpose quite well.

Bought a couple
This ruler is very nice. It is magnetic and stainless steel. Very easy to read. I purchased different sizes. Wish they made 6 &12" versions with inches on one side and mm on the other.

Highest quality ruler
I needed this ruler for model measuring and making. I use it to check items to see if they re scale and properly dimensioned. I also use it to check tolerances.This marking are very easy to read even the 1/100ths". It has four scales. One side is fractional inches of 32nds and 64ths which you can use as a traditional imperial ruler easily because every 1/8th of an inch has a longer graduation mark. The other side is in 1/10th" and 1/100th". Both sides are imperial so this is suitable for engineering and machinist work.It is high quality metal with a non glare satin finish. When tilted on its horizontal axis the numbers appear to fade leaving a ghost image that is still readable, almost like a holographic effect. This is probably my nicest ruler.I have no complaints about this ruler and have not seen a better one compared to more expensive rulers in the $10-$20 range. I just wish I had a triangular engineering ruler that measured in 1/100th" of an inch.

Perfect little ruler
I needed something short that I could use for turning hems on a craft project - this is perfect for my needs. I lay it on the fabric, and fold the fabric over the ruler, then fold again. The ruler pulls out smoothly, no snagging, and I have a perfectly folded trim with the raw edge inside, with no size variation between pieces. The flexibility and thinness is a big plus for my needs.

Great size and performance
My dad had given me a full size ruler of this same brand a few years ago. It's the best ruler i have ever used. I love that it has both quarter (1/32, 1/8, etc) measurements as well as decimal measurements.I wanted a new ruler to use at my ceramics class because i didn't want my dad's ruler to get too dirty or get lost or stolen. A 6" might be perfect to store and get basic measurements, i thought.And i was right! I use this often and it fits perfectly in my apron pocket.
