Review on πŸ“ Accurate Aluminum Precision Woodworking Measuring: Improve Positioning for Perfect Results by Elton Luo

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Quality construction but the measurement scale is weird as hell, to say the least

Open the box and you're in for a quality product. After that, the TS-8 I received shows a critical error. Scale comparison with (all listed below are the same size over 12 inches): STAEDTLER MARS Architectural Rule made in Germany, STAEDTLER Architectural Rule made in Brazil, ALVIN Architectural Rule. Made in USA 25ft CRAFTSMAN Made in USA The TS-8 scale is relatively inaccurate and will vary throughout the 8 inch scale. It is 5/64 shorter than the previous one by 8 inches. It looks like they tried to fix the scale in his design by skewing some of the lines. Looking at scales, rulers, ribbons for more than 30 years, it's strange to look at the scales whose lines are not parallel but tilted at an angle with a left and right shift in an apparent attempt to correct that Inaccuracy. Keeping it because it's such a good thing, but I can't weigh it. I regret returning this item.
