Arrived on time just as described. A perfect replacement for one that served me well. Thanks !!

It is the most readable ruler did Amazon offers. If you’re selling a product on Facebook marketplace and you need the ruler that’s the one you need. 4/11/25.

Great product

Would have been 5 stars but a little thin

arrived in good condition and was just as described

It was packed well and arrived flat and undamaged. The 2" width and the thickness of the metal makes this pretty sturdy with less bend than I would have expected when holding it up from one end. The numbers are nice and large and all of the tick marks are easy to see (this is coming from someone whose eyesight is far, far, far from perfect!). It has enough heft that laying it on a long piece of heavy plastic that had been rolled up tightly for a long time kept the plastic from snapping back into a curl while measuring, marking and cutting. Nice length for those long cuts with an X-Acto knife! I would kind of like to have a cork back on it to help keep the ruler from slipping but considering the thickness of the ruler itself, I'm not sure I want to add any more to it.All-in-all, it's a nice hefty ruler for the price!

Granted, it's not the quality of a Starrett square, but it's not advertised to be. I bought three of these: 24, 36, and 48 inch. I tested them against a Starrett double square for accuracy. The 36 and 48-inch were very close (the lines on the rulers and the square lined up). The 24-inch square was about a 64th long. I used a disk sander to fix that in a couple of minutes.The lines and numbers are only slightly etched into the metal, and time will tell how durable they are. For the money, though, I suppose I can afford to replace them. I set them on my table saw top to check how straight they are, and they seem to be adequately straight for my purposes.I got these because none of my tape measures were accurate enough with inside measurements, particularly when I use an Incra miter gauge with the stop. I think these will work well for that.

I really like this yardstick. It has large, easy to read numbers and markings that are engraved and painted black inside the engraving. I wear reading glasses now and it seems that everything I read is too close or too far away to see clearly. But the markings on this yardstick are large enough that it's not problem to read. I also like that it's plain on one side and is marked with the numbers on both side edges on the other side, no need to flip it around to measure from the ''one inch" end, because each end starts at one inch. It's two inches wide, making it easy to handle. Has a hole for hanging. And it's stiff enough to hold it's shape. The price was great too. (I paid full price for this item and get nothing in return for this review)
