Bill Lask

Very well-made. There is not metric system on this, though. Just imperial.

December 23, 2015

Verified Purchase

Listed as "both a standard ruler and a metric ruler in one".
This is not true. There is not metric system on this. Just imperial.
Still, it is well-made, so I did not remove any stars.

• It's 1/32 in thin, and just a hair below half an inch wide, perfect for small packs and kits.
• One side has 10ths and 100ths inch intervals (the description says 10 and 100 mm intervals which is not correct. No metric on these).
• The other side has 1/32 and 1/64 inch intervals.
• Markings are etched on the ruler, not just printed.
• All edges have been ground down, (not just stamp cut), and are at a 90 degree angle. You can scrape quite effectively with this.
• No unmarked spaces at beginning and end of ruler. Markings start and end at the very edges.

If you want a small steel ruler with imperial system, then this is great, and it should last pretty long.
If you want metric, keep looking. Hopefully the description will be corrected.

Excellent Tools, BAD DESCRIPTION !

June 21, 2016

Verified Purchase

I have used General Tools products for years and all are well made and good quality as well as value for the money. You will find higher prices and big names, but not better value. That being said I read the description and was mislead by the "metric" reference. Not Generals fault, AMAZON has some responsibility here as this was noted in a review in 2012. I would think that would be enough time to address this sort of oversight. I will definitely read more closely before I buy from Amazon again as it is obvious the descriptions are not accurate nor are they monitored or updated. If I have to go to that much trouble I will just go to a store where I can lay my hands on it and know exactly what I am getting before I purchase. Small cost item that I will not bother to return but I already had 2 and did not need 2 more of the wrong thing.

EXCELLENT ruler with measurements that begin at the edge of the ruler

August 6, 2014

Verified Purchase

this is a great little ruler. Made of nice material - I think it will last forever. Also - most rulers have a bit of space before they start measuring. This one starts the measurements right at the edge - this is exactly what I needed. You can stand the ruler up and measure the height of something.

Better than a Starrett

October 13, 2012

Verified Purchase

I've been using 6" rulers for 29 years. I've tried them all, but this is my favorite because it is the easiest to read in my opinion. Although not as flexable as a Starrett, it is easier to read. The markings are bolder than on some other brands. The only downside, is that the edges are sharp. I smooth out the edges after I take it out of the package, problem solved.

Almost perfect.

January 21, 2015

Verified Purchase

Great graduations on front and back. One side has 32nds and 64ths and other side has 10ths and 100ths. Wish it wasn't so shiny. Shiny makes it pretty but harder to read. A satin finish would be better. Also wish it came with a pocket clip.

A rule to work with

This is the perfect ruler for me in making knives since it has both fractional inches and decimal inches.

Reliable and sturdy

June 23, 2015

I have had a 12 inch General Tools ruler for over 10 years and it still looks the same as it did when I bought it. Needed a new one for smaller measurements, and the 6 inch ruler is perfect.
