🪑 Robert Larson 650 1167 3ft Foldable Foot Stool Review

I use folding rules most often, especially Lufkin X46 because of the length. I prefer them to tape measures for shorter distances because they lay flat on the marked wood next to the tree. It's also easier to hold a ruler in one spot and mark with your other hand than a tape measure, which can fall off work and drag the entire tape with it. The fit and finish of this ruler is comfortable and there are 1/8 marks on one side and 1/16 increments on the other. My only issue with this ruler is that…

This folding rule from Larson is great. This is a tool from the past. The brass is a bit hard to see. What I did was lightly sand the entire wood section of the ruler to smooth out the wood, which especially helped the edges. .I've tried putting some light oil on the hinges but I haven't been able to get into the hinge yet. The marks on brass need to be applied a little deeper and then a darker "color" is added to make it stand out a bit more. I don't measure wood very often and I usually cut…

I should have studied the image more closely, but I assumed all the rulers were graduated in (at least) 1/16th increments. Obviously RL was trying to be historically accurate. I'd rather give up historical accuracy for modern graduation. I don't really care since most of my projects are measured to 1/4 anyway. If I
