Review on πŸ“ Stainless Steel Ruler Conversion Tool by EBoot by Djuan Thompson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Nice improvement over my old line

Upgrading my workshop I replaced several tools with better versions. I had an old wooden ruler that I wanted to replace and hang on a breadboard. I saw this set and decided to try it. The included 6 inch ruler was a bonus for me. In general I like them. I have a laser hole gauge that I use a lot, but sometimes a regular ruler works better. First, it's easier to draw straight lines with these rulers because they're not made of flimsy steel like laser-drilled gauges. They're a bit thicker, which makes them good rulers. However, I wish they were made of stronger steel. The 12 inch ruler came slightly bent. I was able to gently bend the ruler to remove most of the arc. The fact that it's made of stronger steel would make that a moot point. As for accuracy, the markings matched perfectly compared to my laser drilled caliber. The mark is simply not applied, but slightly embedded in the metal so that it will not be erased over time. The zero point is the bottom edge of the rulers. That comes in handy sometimes, but I hope they're strong enough that those corners don't get scratched. The conversion from inches to millimeters on the back of the rules is a nice touch. However, it would be nice to provide decimal equivalents for regular imperial sizes instead of some of these conversions. As another reviewer noted, there is a typo on the back of the 12-inch ruler. Of course, this does not affect the use of this ruler. The ruler has holes at the curved end. Luckily they are big enough. that they hang well on a hook on my breadboard. I didn't get any discounts on it. Even if there were, it wouldn't affect my rating.
