Amazon.com Product Description
Instead of squinting at that blur of lines along the edge of your old steel rule, the Incra 18-Inch Marking Rule Set, lets you mark precisely where you want with zero uncertainty and no eye strain. Incra has re-invented the steel rule by putting micro-fine holes at every scale position (every 1/16-inch and 1/32-inch) to instantly locate a sharp pencil or scribe exactly on target. Using a T-square this guide draws perfectly placed horizontal lines with dead-on accuracy, with guide slots that wrap around any edges.

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly What You Need, June 8, 2001

By	"gluehappy" (Lutz, FL United States) - See all my reviews

If you desire to elevate your measuring and marking skills, this handy set will do you right. If you're frustrated at trying to line up your measuring marks your're not alone. No more squinting at the edge of a ruler to see if you've got it right. Get it right each time with this set.

These precision marking rulers have precisely drilled guide slots to fit a marking tool such as a sharp pencil or scribe eliminating the uncertainty in your measurement. The included T-square allows one to scribe the measurement by moving the T-square along a straight edge. Perfect. The marking ruler is handy for making that perfect mark. The bend ruler is great for all those edge and end mesurements.

The rulers are made out of very thin stainless steel and if your not careful you can put a hard to straighten crimp in them.

Use them the first time and you won't want to go back.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Rulers -- Super Accurate -- Super Flimsy..., December 31, 2001

By	Jeffrey A. Smith "jasncompany" (Athens, AL) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

These are the standards in my shop for accuracy. These rulers remove all doubt when measuring. Very thin laser-etched markings on very thin stainless steel with laser-cut marking slots for using a .5mm pencil. If you want accuracy and a "reference" point for other measuring tools in your shop, this is the one to go with.

But... make a rack for them and keep them off the floor... One crimp, and the accuracy is gone.

Still... they get 5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Incra DOES rule!!, February 18, 2008

By	MJ Wood (Tucson, AZ USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When my 18" Rule set arrived there was a minor defect in the plain rule - a small burr on one side. I took a few photos and emailed them to Incra (along with a copy of my Amazon receipt). Within half an hour (no exaggeration!) I had an apology and assurances that a new replacement was on the way. Indeed, within two days UPS delivered a brand new one.


The Rules are very thin, bend easily and seem flimsy at first, but once you begin using them, their durability becomes apparent and measuring into the 64ths of an inch with precision is easy.

Having the three different rules is an added bonus, as not every measurement is a straight line across a straight edge. Yes, it was tough to reconcile the nearly $72 for the set, but these rules seem that they will last and will remove the guesswork out of any measurement.

Hope this helps.
