Review on 🔧 Stainless Steel General Tools 12 Inch 1216 by John Bourgeois

I've been using this type of rule for years and I've always liked the general. In general, the rule seems pretty accurate. The hooks are nice and well etched. They're a lot thinner than my old general rule, which helps separate the lines better. What I don't like is that General is now using a less durable steel. The new rule bends easily and stays bent. It's not a problem if you never break the rules. But there are a few instances where I use a 12 inch ruler with one end curved to fit around irregularly shaped objects. My old general rule can make almost a complete circle and return to flatness. Not so with this new one. It's a shame because I bought another one because of its flexibility. It's still a good product but I wish the steel was better.
