Review on Lufkin HX46N Wood Rule Hook by Peter Zouhair

I am a 74 year old former carpenter (contractor). My father and I used this rule when I was 14 years old. Then it was a great ruler. It worked great, was very accurate and seemed to last forever. I still have a few old ones that are pretty worn out but still work. I ordered a new one to use a little (I'm retired) and leave it to my grandson. This new rule is a shame. The slider falls out of rule when expanded. The hinges are spring loaded. The wooden parts are bent. The graphics are terrible. Don't try to measure anything with this thing because it's not accurate. It's more than 1/8" by 4". Lufkin has had a great product for most of my life. Anyone who ever decides to produce it outside of the US should be fired. I spent almost $30 on this junk. I just threw it in the trash. I didn't think I would pass that on to my grandson. Does Lufkin have quality control? You should be ashamed of this product.
