Good but not equal

I've been using this type of rule for years and I've always liked the general. In general, the rule seems pretty accurate. The hooks are nice and well etched. They're a lot thinner than my old general rule, which helps separate the lines better. What I don't like is that General is now using a less durable steel. The new rule bends easily and stays bent. It's not a problem if you never break the rules. But there are a few instances where I use a 12 inch ruler with one end curved to fit around…

Pros
  • Reverse division: 32nd, 64th
Cons
  • Piggy bank price

Top quality ruler

I needed this ruler for measuring and model making. This is for checking permissions. This marking is very good even down to 1/100". readable. It has four scales. One side is fractions of an inch of 32 and 64 which you can easily use as a traditional imperial ruler as each 1/8" is a longer division. The other side is in 1/10" and 1/100" both Pages are in inches making them suitable for engineering and machinist work This is a high quality metal with an anti-reflective satin finish When tilted…

Pros
  • Ruler width 15/32"
Cons
  • Not bad but...

Listed as "Standard ruler and metric ruler in one bottle". It is not true. There is no metric system here. Simply imperial. However, it is well made, so I did not deduct the stars. β€’ 1/32 inch thick and just under half an inch wide, ideal for smaller packages and kits. β€’ A side has 10 and hundredths of an inch intervals (the description says 10mm and 100mm intervals, which is incorrect. They are not in metric units). β€’ There are 1/32" and 1/64" intervals on the other side. β€’ Markings are…

Pros
  • Marking in very thin black for easy reading and deciphering
Cons
  • Not sure
