Nicely built, I can round the edges like that.

Johnson's figure scale was made in the USA but clearly says Made in China. Is there a really accurate scale ruler, I'm not sure I have 4 and somewhere along the line they don't match. Nicely built I can round the edges as it is very sharp as I have cut the prints several times with this ruler. Def some modifications can be used.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Transparency

Not to be used as a ruler

Opened at last after Amazon return policy expired. The ruler should have straight edges. This ruler had dents and scratches and was not suitable for any drawing, especially a draft. The edges were so bad they would go straight to the bin not to tempt me to fight them on another drawing. Please open and check the edges immediately. I would really like.

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • It's ok

Great Product: Measuring & Marking Tools

First of all I bought this scale for my Structural Graphics course and design process, but I am sure this scale will do for any class of drawing or sketching in general. The scale is made of aluminum (solid core) so it feels good to work with and is much stronger than plastic or wood. A word of caution (I've heard that, although it hasn't happened to me yet): dropping it on a hard surface will scratch the dial. The black color contrasts well with all types of documents, and the graduations are…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

Nice, good buy. Scale issue 1/2 "

Very well made, lighter and slimmer than most other aluminum rulers. She has a pretty big disadvantage. The inch scale on the 1/2 inch scale is positioned very differently than any other scale ruler I have used and is actually different from the inch range of the same ruler at other scales. When using the 1/2 inch scale, the section uses a "major" line every two inches (2,4,6,8,10) as opposed to the standard method of a larger line every three inches (3.6, 9 inches). ) . This makes reading the…

Pros
  • Package width: 3.25"
Cons
  • Available in white only

Good tool for a good price.

Great tool at a great price. Anyone considering purchasing architectural scales should only consider those that have such markings and numbers. worn out for months. I wasted $ a few years ago buying an aluminum scale with markings printed on it and it broke after 3 months due to chipped paint. ------ By the way, I'm not sure why this tool is listed as "Level and Tool" in Revain. It's not a level at all. This is clearly the benchmark of the architect. Someone should check the description more…

Pros
  • Pack Length: 3.0 in.
Cons
  • Fold Pack

Great product for spirit levels

First of all I bought this scale for my Structural Graphics and Design Process class but I'm sure this scale would be great for any drawing related class or drawing im general is. .The scale is made of aluminum (solid core), so it feels comfortable when working and is much stronger than plastic or wood.. The black color contrasts well with all types of documents and the graduations are engraved, so they last longer as printed. Made in China. For the price (and the fast and reliable shipping…

Pros
  • Packaging height: 15.5 inches
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
