Customer Reviews:

I got what I asked for and it works just fine. [Posted on 2007-04-11]
A full 12" ruler marked in hundredths of an inch is really handy if you are working out custom printed forms or specifications for printed labels.

This ruler is similar to one I had before, but long and marked in 10ths and 100ths instead 32nds and 64ths of an inch. That saves some calculator time.

Flexible but not precise [Posted on 2008-06-25]
This rule is generally of fine quality, the markings are etched and in a nice contrasting black so it's easy to read and the markings are not likely to wear off.

It's got graduations in 8ths, 16ths, 32nds and nicely 64ths for those who can see that small.

This ruler is indeed very flexible which is handy for measuring curved surfaces.

The biggest flaw however, is it did not live up to its claim of being a precision rule. The starting end of the ruler is visibly ground or cut 0.5mm too short rendering measuring from the ends useless!

I originally bought 2 of them but both had the same flaw, so it's not a fluke.

Pass on this ruler for precision unless you can work around this or can tolerate the lack of quality.
