ONE METRE Ruler Stainless Steel 1M Long Metal 40" Measure Rule/Meter 100cm

I've been wanting a decent but not insanely priced stainless steel meter stick for my shop, and this fills the bill nicely. The etched markings are very easy to read, and the ruler has just the right amount of flexibility. I checked it against a Starret metric tape and they were in perfect agreement. I also checked some shorter portions against some dial calipers and looked good there. The only negative is that the edges are a bit on the sharp side. I lightly ran a mill file and course diamond stone over the edges and they feel much better now. This will definitely be a useful tool.

I used it on my X-carve to calibrate my x,y, and z axis. Make everything way more accurate.

I'll give it four stars because you get what you pay for. OK for $20. As others have remarked, some Amazon facility bowed it to fit into a box called "U3". Honestly, it was not that obvious to me. It lays flat enough for any purpose. Trimming at the at zero end is accurate to my eye, ordinarily a pet peeve I have with rulers. Another thing mentioned by others: I really, really wish that flipping it over would result in the two scales flipping too. In other words, if you have metric at the top edge and inches at the bottom edge, it stays that way if you flip it. I may keep it. For now, I'll keep looking in case I see something nicer.

Awesome! Great for construction application. Super bendy and nice quality.

This 1 meter rule is one of the most used simple tools in my shop. I prefer to use it for measurement because it is SO much simpler than all of the fractions in the archaic inch-based measurement system used in the USA (and practically nowhere else on this planet.)

good yard stick

Be careful using it,it is so extremely sharp on the sides. Inches and cm should not be on the same part of the ruler on both sides,hard to use if you want to cut something in certain inches

Excellent ruler, shipped fast. Marked on both sides both in cm and inches. Love it

BUENA PARA EL USO QUE LE DOY A CONSTANTE YA LAS DE MADRRA NO RINDEN

Para lo que buscaba, esta excelente
