The Brown Sharpe stainless steel length measurement tool is very helpful when I need to measure objects accurately. Based on my observations it is durable and has a high level of accuracy in the measurements .The best thing about it is that it's easy to read the measurements, so i won't make any errors when using it. However, it's a bit pricey for a simple measurement tool, but the quality compensates for it. overall, I`m happy with my purchase!
