I've been buying Lufkin picks for 30 years. Since they moved from the US the quality is terrible! The segments of the ruler detach on the hinges, knocking down the measurements. I can't afford to make a mistake when cutting expensive wood. The Stabile ranges are made in Germany. The quality is very good. I removed one star because the 1/16" scales are not accessible on either side of the ruler. A sliding extension for inside measurement would be a great feature.
