    • as good as starrett
Style: 6 inch Flexible Stainless Steel Ruler
quality: very easy to read and appear well made. i am used to starrett at work but wanted something cheaper at my desk and for simple stuff. the bend(and spring back), feel, and thickness, all high quality. i put a caliper to these and found the 6" length to be 6.001". i then checked at several marks on the 10ths and 100ths side and found them to appear to be exact. i would say this gives starrett a run for it's money and at a fraction of the cost. ... show more

    • Perfect little ruler
Style: 6 inch Flexible Stainless Steel Ruler
I needed something short that I could use for turning hems on a craft project - this is perfect for my needs. I lay it on the fabric, and fold the fabric over the ruler, then fold again. The ruler pulls out smoothly, no snagging, and I have a perfectly folded trim with the raw edge inside, with no size variation between pieces. The flexibility and thinness is a big plus for my needs. ... show more

    • Accurate quick reference scale
Style: 6 inch Flexible Stainless Steel Ruler
Everyday use in a machine shop setting. Invaluable and cost effective. No need for a high dollar scale where this suits the purpose quite well.

I needed this ruler for model measuring and making. I use it to check items to see if they re scale and properly dimensioned. I also use it to check tolerances. This marking are very easy to read even the 1/100ths". It has four scales. One side is fractional inches of 32nds and 64ths which you can use as a traditional imperial ruler easily because every 1/8th of an inch has a longer graduation mark. The other side is in 1/10th" and 1/100th". Both sides are imperial so this is suitable for engineering and machinist work. It is high quality metal with a non glare satin finish. When tilted on its horizontal axis the numbers appear to fade leaving a ghost image that is still readable, almost like a holographic effect. This is probably my nicest ruler. I have no complaints about this ruler and have not seen a better one compared to more expensive rulers in the $10-$20 range. I just wish I had a triangular engineering ruler that measured in 1/100th" of an inch. ... show more

    • Great size and performance
Style: 6 inch Flexible Stainless Steel Ruler
My dad had given me a full size ruler of this same brand a few years ago. It's the best ruler i have ever used. I love that it has both quarter (1/32, 1/8, etc) measurements as well as decimal measurements. I wanted a new ruler to use at my ceramics class because i didn't want my dad's ruler to get too dirty or get lost or stolen. A 6" might be perfect to store and get basic measurements, i thought. And i was right! I use this often and it fits perfectly in my apron pocket. ... show more

This ruler is very nice. It is magnetic and stainless steel. Very easy to read. I purchased different sizes. Wish they made 6 &12" versions with inches on one side and mm on the other.
