    • Highest quality ruler
Style: 12 inch Flexible Stainless Steel Ruler

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

    • Very well-made. There is not metric system on this, though. Just imperial.
Style: 6 inch Flexible Stainless Steel Ruler
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. ... 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.

    • 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

    • Excellent Tools, BAD DESCRIPTION !
Style: 6 inch Flexible Stainless Steel Ruler
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. ... 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

    • Better than a Starrett
Style: 6 inch Flexible Stainless Steel Ruler
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. ... show more
