Offidea Machinist Ruler 6 Inch, 2 Pack - Rigid Stainless Steel Ruler with Inch/Metric Graduations - 1/64, 1/32, mm and .5 mm - 6 Inch Ruler, Metric Ruler, Metal Rulers 6 inch, Mm ruler, Metal Ruler

I needed a sturdy ruler that can take some abuse in my workshop. They are holding up well. Easy to read and easy to use. Cleans up well too and so far the markings are still clear after several month of light to medium usage. Cannot say much about how accurate it is. But for quick repeatable measurements these serve the purpose very well. Having two of them is a bonus. I keep one at my desk and one in the tool bag.

I have been struggling with other rulers for years and finally I have one that is a pleasure to use. It is 100% accurate and zero is the exact end of the ruler. It is 3/4" wide which makes it sturdy, the markings are dark with a good contrast making it easy to read. I would have bought another one because it is so good but there are 2 in the package! The downside is that the edges are a little sharp so be careful when using it.

I am a civil engineer, and it’s always handy to have a 6” ruler on hand for sketches and drawings. I use this thing every day. Previously, I used a plastic ruler, which was sufficient for a while; until it lost its edge. This steel ruler is just superior in every way, it’s not even a comparison. Two for that price also seems like a steal: one for home and one for the office. Andy, a representative of Offidea, also reached out to me to follow up and see how I was liking the product. He’s very friendly and seemed incredibly helpful (though I didn’t have any issues whatsoever), and I think this is indicative of excellent customer service. Will totally be doing more business with these guys in the future. It’s an excellent product. I’m thinking about buying a few more for friends and colleagues.

Well made; exactly as expected. Getting two, so I can put one with my electronics tools, a definite benefit. Protective sleeve will help minimize inevitable scratches such rulers face when laid down while cutting and grinding.

I purchased these for my husband & he says, "When you need your measurements to be precise, this tool is perfect for the task & shirt pocket ready! Great bargain for 2." My husband put 1 in his tool belt & the other next to his milling machine.

I had some CentreLine steel rulers that I used for decades, but I gradually lost them and was down to one, which I treasured, but ultimately that disappeared also and I was stuck. I guess they had a patent or something, but nobody now makes a steel ruler where the etched markings are filled with something so black so that they really stick out. (Believe me, as I've looked for a very long time and really hard.) But these are so good and so cheap that I bought a bunch of them and have them everywhere. I've been very satisfied with them and regard them as precision instruments.

I needed to calibrate my 3D printer which requires fairly accurate measurements. Due to one of the angles I couldn't use my calipers or regular ruler, so I picked up this one specifically because it measures 0 from the edge. I have had no problems with the accuracy or quality. For my purposes this was perfect, and it came in a 2 pack so I can leave one with my printer and one in my toolbox.

I bought this to replace a machinist rule that I had for many years. The old one had some kind of chrome coating on it and the face of it eventually turned black. It became useless to me as a tool as I could no longer read the measurements, so I tossed it and ordered this new one. I have yet to really put it through any rigorous testing or use, so my review is based on it out of the packaging. I do know that it is very accurate and cleans easily with rubbing or denatured alcohol without any damage to the finish. It is great to have on your desk when the replacement items on a website only lists the measurements in millimeters/centimeters. I just used it yesterday to verify the size of an item that did not list in inches. Using this rule, I was able to quickly and easily verify the sizes before making the purchase. This item is small enough to be out of the way, so you won't have to rearrange you desk area. As of now, I like it and I plan to get a lot of use out of it. Easily stores in tool pockets on work pants/shirts too.
