 Awesome piece of equipment November 23, 2008
I know, I know, it seems like nothing more than a really expensive ruler. But the extreme precision of the marking holes and the T-square bar make it a totally different animal in use. It's a beautifully manufactured and well thought out improvement on a basic tool. Works great.
My only gripe is that you'll need a very sharp pencil to make use of the marking holes. A generic mechanical pencil is too coarse unless you sharpen it to a point. I've been looking out for finer mechanical pencils, but so far I haven't seen one - you might have to visit a drafting supply store to get something like that.
Perect for making exact and repeatable measurements August 24, 2008

The ruler is a wide, very thin piece of spring metal that has holes and slots in it every 1/64th of an inch. There's a T bar at one end that allows you to put the ruler up against a board or any surfact with a raised edge and meadure precisely, using a standard thin-lead mechanical pencil. If you guide the T bar along the edge and leave the pencil in a slot, you can mark a line that's exactly parallel to the edge, and the meaurement is perfectly repeatable because of the accurately placed slots in the metal rule. It works exactly as advertised and the accuracy fully justifies the price.
A couple of cautions: The rule is very thin, so you have to handle it gently to avoid putting a permanent bend in it. You shouldn't put anything heavy on top of it. I kept the blster pack and I put the rule back into the pack and hang it up to keep it out of harm's way when it's not being used. And you have to hold the ruler firmly against the edge when you slide it to mark a line parallel to that edge.
Excellent tool! March 25, 2008

I build dollhouse miniatures, and this ruler is indispensable. I bought it after trying repeatedly to cut four cabinet drawer fronts all the same size. Now I not only have matching drawers, the drawer pulls are all in line, too. The T-rule insures that all the measurements start at the same place, and the slots in the ruler insure they end in exactly the right place. No more time wasted lining up the end of the ruler exactly with the end of the wood, and no more time wasted trying to be sure to mark in the exact same space in relation to the line on a "regular" ruler. Worth every penny!
 can be useful December 31, 2007

I can see where this instrument would be useful in many professions. You can even use it as a regular ruler without the guide. Just hope it holds up and I don't accidentally make it unusable. It is flexible like a sheet of paper. I wish they made a metric version because I want to convert to metric. SAE is just a waste of my brain space. Actually a lot of society is a waste of time.
 Surprised how thin this is December 25, 2007

I was surprised to see how thin this is! You can hold one end and the other one will bend like a pizza slice. For the price I was expecting something more solid. It is nice to have all the markers for repeatability and such but I'm afraid to break this one!
UPDATE: I'm liking this more and more since I can mark lines parallel to the edge of a board. I still wish it was a little bit thicker but don't I being thinner helps put a pencil in the little holes.
