Review on πŸ“ POWERTEC 71213: Premium Anodized Aluminum Straightedge for Accurate Measurements by Jordan Rini

Revainrating 3 out of 5

If only they had put the same level of precision into the scale as into the machining.

First of all I would like to say that I was very excited about this product and my first impression was "Wow, this thing is strong and straight like a laser". Heavy but not bulky. A great feeling. And the form factor has been well thought out for different ergonomics. Unfortunately. The measurements are NOT accurate. The printed scales (at least on the one I received) do not butt against the edge of the metal, leaving a 1mm gap. Also, the scale goes out too (according to my calipers) - so you're actually losing 1mm for every 100mm you measure. as 3 stars in my POV due to an apparent oversight in providing a path to the user's desired result. )

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
