Review on EBoot Stainless Steel Ruler: Conversion, Measuring, and Inspection Tool by Jonathan Abreu

Bought looking for durable rulers for the garden and home workshop. They arrived quickly and seem to be quite well thought out, comparing to twice the thickness of the 12 inch cork lined stainless steel Wescott line that I also purchased for this exercise. The marks seem to be well recessed and filled with black paint and I can't scratch them. from the nail. The 6 inch ruler has a ruler line with a break in the line, but overall the markings seem durable. They are given in inches and centimeters, and parts of the scale are divided into 16th, 32nd, 64th "mm" and "half mm". On the back of each of them are tables for converting inches and fractions of inches to millimeters. The top of the 15-inch ruler is labeled "hardened stainless steel," which is interesting since it's just one of three rulers that seems to scratch easily. Each has a convenient hanging hole at the end. Now for the not-so-good: the 15-inch ruler takes up an impressive amount of scratches considering it was just sitting on the kitchen counter. There may already be some factory scratches in there, but they come in a nice, custom-made protective case. All have some sort of tool marks or burr marks that were removed during the manufacturing process. Not bad, just noticeable. - The edges and corners are not what I would call sharp, but they are definitely not rounded and there are stamp marks from the msg process on the edges. - The scale starts at the edge of the ruler, which may not be a problem for some, but it does mean that normal wear and tear will eventually make the first inch inaccurate. - The much cheaper but lighter 12" Wescott ruler that I also bought for this exercise has no problems with scratches or rough edges. - The 15 inch ruler arrived with a slight bend and doesn't lie perfectly flat. - The conversion tables from inches to millimeters on the back with 5 decimal places don't make sense (to me at least) as the markings on the scales on the front allow for bi-directional conversion. Converting fractional inches to decimal inches would be much more useful to me anyway. I think it's good value for money and they'll do their job well, but when it comes time to replace them I'll look for a thicker Wescott version. Both the metal quality and the workmanship seem to be noticeably better.
