Can't say much more about something as simple as this. Perfect small steel rule. Precise down to the edges with very fine units. Great for guitar repair measurements.

This is a simple, but decent steel rule that will last a long time with your various DIY and hobby requirements. A tape measure is often useful for larger measurements, but for smaller items a good measuring rule is invaluable. If you use a plastic rule with a Stanley/craft knife there is a risk that you will slice through the rule into your fingers and also the edge can get marked and ragged. A good metal rule will prevent this and will last a great deal longer in your workshop. The indices on this are machined well and it is easy to read off the scale. This is inexpensive and invaluable in the long run when you need to measure smaller items around the home and workshop.

Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

I got this because I lost an old cheap one I had from Lowe's that I used to set up my table saw. This is a great little ruler! I rarely use the 10/100ths side but the 32/64ths side is invaluable for getting your projects cut precisely.

Does the job well. A bit hard to read (trade off for compact size)

Instead of being 1" high - like the usual ruler - this one is 1/2" high, and is tinier than I expected.

It's exactly as pictured, so I perhaps should have known better.
