4.0 out of 5 stars Best for carpentry work, August 5, 2007

This Luskin folding rule is the absolute best for doing carpentry work. After years of using a traditional metal tape measure I've gone back home to the wooden folding rule.

My grandfather who was a master carpenter used these exclusively. They are great because they lay flat on surfaces and don't jump around like traditional tape measures. The extending end gives you easy perfect measures on inside sections easily. I would suggest paying a few bucks more and get this one because that metal extender is a life saver.

The construction is sturdy and made to last a lifetime. The markings are clear and easy to read.

3.0 out of 5 stars Worksmanship not the greatest, June 14, 2008

I have used the folding rule for years while doing interior trim work. Nothing is easier to use for inside measure. My old Lufkin rule became loose at the joints and at the brass extension after much use.
The new rule is already loose at the extension right out of the box. There is no apparent way to "tighten" up the slide so I guess I'll just have to live with it. "They don't build em like they used to"

My father always used a wooden rule for fine carpentry work, and this Lufkin is just like the one he used. It still has the metal extension, which facilitates depth measurements and exact inside measurements. I'll still keep a tape handy, for times when I need to measure long distances, but for work close at hand, this rule rules!
