This is an excellent ruler. It does exactly what you would expect a ruler to do: you can draw straight lines and you can find out how long they are after you've drawn them. It is shiny and silver and has a nice hole on one end so you can loop it on a binder or keychain. It is smooth and soft in case you were wondering. There are no complaints because this ruler is the most rulery ruler.

This is an excellent tool for measuring sticky (and not so sticky) stuff. It works nearly as easily as you would hope, and separates into two pieces for thorough cleaning in the dishwasher. I've deducted a single star (though I would have deducted a half if there were such a thing), since the action to separate the pieces is a little bit clunky.

I wanted a digital caliper that I could use when messing with stuff that needed precise measurements and this has done wonderful. I would recommend this tool to anyone who needs a way to get precise measurements and is a must have for any tool box in my opinion. The caliper is made of stainless steel and has a plastic housing for the measurement data. It comes with a plastic case to store it in and also they provided an extra battery for the caliper. The screen is large enough that anyone should be able to read the readout. Overall the tool does a great job at measuring items but does occasionally have to be reset as it gets off from time to time hence the deduction of one star. I would highly recommend having one of these in your arsenal of tools at home.

Seems to be a good solid rule. The sliding extension is a must for me. I have already found it indispensable on a number of cabinet projects. I am hoping that the fiberglass construction and embossed markings help this tool hold up in my toolbox. Seems to be a well-made ruler. I'm happy with this purchase.

It's six months now since I bought the ruler, and it has turned out to be a lot more useful than I expected. For measuring inside dimensions of cabinets, openings, moldings, this is indispensable. My regular tape measure can't hold a candle to it. The plastic material that it's made of is very durable; it's been kicking around in my toolbox on work truck for a half a year now, and it shows no signs of damage.

I bought this ruler because it had english and metric units on it and I'm generally satisfied. I've seen better rulers out there but this is my go to. I keep it in my pen pocket and use it for straight lines and quick measurements. I do wish the reverse side had inches in 10ths marked on it and perhaps a conversion chart from fractions to decimals but overall it's good.

Awesome Machinist ruler, you can measure in 32 or 64 of an inch. I use it to Adjust the Action on my Bass. Great Quality, Good Price. I am very satisfied with this ruler.

I bought two of these to include in my canvas drawing tools pouches. I purchased these rulers because of their slightly rounded corners so they wouldn't tear the canvas material.
I checked the measurements against my larger steel rulers and they are accurate.
These rulers meet my needs for a small portable straight-edge with basic measuring capabilities.
I'm very satisfied with my purchase and overall value.

Seems good.  The accuracy is as good as my best tape measures, and is made of durable aluminum.  I wish both sides were sloped though.  As it is, I bought this ruler with the same markings on both sides for sheet metal layout, but it's harder to measure to the side that's not sloped because of the parallax error.

Time will tell of the durability of the markings.  They aren't indented unfortunately.

Overall, a good ruler.  I'll update more later about the marking durability.

Unbelievably nice considering the price and free shipping from Hong Kong.  The ruler arrived without damage or significant bending especially considering the package was just a simple cardboard sheath with no bubble wrap or other padding.  I use mine for setting up the intonation on my guitars and it works quite well.  I compared this ruler's measurement graduations to another ruler and they seem to match perfectly.  I definitely recommend this ruler.  I don't think you will find a better metal metric ruler at this price.

I forgot to mention this ruler also has a 20 inch scale on the opposite side.  I bought it primarily for the metric rule but it does have the inch scale with 1/8, 1/16, and 1/32 inch divisions.

After seeing several Craftsy class tutors using one of these, I decided I needed one.  However, you can't buy them in the UK so that's why I bought mine through Amazon.com.  Basically it's great!  One of the drawbacks of long rulers is that the other end gets caught on things when you least expect it.  But this is so small, it's perfect for those times when you just want to add a seam allowance, or anything which involves small measurements.

I really like this ruler. It is thin enough that it doesn't distort any measurements. So far it has held up well even when using lots of steam.

This ruler set is *awesome*, and exactly what I needed!  I can't count the number of times I've been sitting at my computer, either about to order something and needing to understand exactly what are its dimensions, or writing a review and wanting to describe exactly its dimensions - leading to my having to get up, trudge downstairs to where my tape measure is, trudge back upstairs, etc.. (Why not leave the tape measure at my desk? Because usually I need it down where I store it.)

This is why I decided to order a ruler for my desk.

When I started looking at rulers, there were the usual wooden ones (downside: splinters, the metal edging (if it has one) is usually sharp, and eventually falls off), and the usual plastic ones (downside: they break easily, and the raised measurement tick marks and numbers are usually not very precise, the paint wears off the raised numbers and tick marks making it difficult to read, etc., in my experience).

Then up popped this lovely set!  Not only none of the downsides of the cheap wooden ones and plastic ones, but two for the price of one!

Plus, the markings are *very* clear and easy to read, with metric on one side and imperial on the other - *and* - bonus!...a conversion table on the back!

Now I have a ruler at my desk, and another to use in other parts of the house in which I may need to measure something (the kitchen... the laundry room... the bedroom...).

This is a seriously great set, and will probably be the last rules you ever need to buy (at least for yourself, they'd make a great gift for a student)!

The OLFA products are always good. This is an excellent ruler, the perfect size that I needed. It arrived in good shape. Thanks

This is a very good tape measure; the standard by which all others are measured.  One feature that I liked was the fractional readout on the tape.  Not only do you get inches with demarcation, but you also get "1/2", "1/4", etc. on the other end of the tape. Nice.

It's a straight edge.  It's straight.  It has an edge.  And a ruler.  Not much too say about it.

This is a very versatile ruler, I would recommend this product.

This ruler has saved my life in my 2-D Design class. The grid system is super helpful is ensuring you get straight lines every time. No complaints about this product, it is durable, lightweight, and extremely useful.
