not as good as the amazon picture shows
The only show you the metallic side of the ruler, but on its back it is wooden debris. The ruler is very thin, too thin to make it sharp like a knife. This is also why it was stick with wooden material on its back.

    This veneer pack is a woodworker's dream! The selection is amazing – exotic woods, domestic options, you name it. The quality is top-notch, and the variety gives you endless possibilities for projects. I've already used some for a small box and it turned out stunning. Highly recommend for any woodworker looking to expand their creative horizons.

    We bought a cheap westcott aluminum ruler at wally-world last year, and over the course of a semester, all the numbers rubbed right off. Nothing is legible except a little bit around the 6" mark. Also, aluminum bends and stays bent unless you try to straighten it, which doesn't work well. This ruler is made of a nice stainless steel, and all the numbers and markings are etched into the steel, so I expect it should last a long time. It's also cork-backed to keep it from sliding around. I haven't tried removing the sticker. Other people did, and it left a sticky residue. I'll just let this wear off naturally, because in my experience that gets rid of the stickiness at the same time.

    What can I say? This is a fine ruler! I use it mostly as a straight-edge for drafting small items. The cork backing is quite nice, as it prevents the ruler from sliding about as I use it. It also prevents it from having that grating, awful scratching on metal or glass surfaces.

    A solid, reliable, and comfortable ruler!

  • Reviewed in the United States on May 17, 2015
    This ruler is about 0.5 MM (0.0195 inch) thick low quality stainless. It will have imperfections in the surface, but they are cosmetic only and will not impede function. The flatness is not well controlled, there will be waves in the edge which make it difficult to measure the straightness. It is straight enough for most jobs, but don't use it for precision machine work.
    The cork backing is useful, it is about 0.84 MM (0.033 inch) thick however they put a manufacturer's sticker right in the middle and it's nearly impossible to remove without damaging the cork and it will leave behind some sticker adhesive, fortunately that adhesive is soluble with isopropyl alcohol and can be washed off.
    I would have preferred a thicker metal ruler of substantial weight but it's difficult to find items with sufficient descriptions to predict build quality.

    Amazing product to say the least!

    I was having a lot of trouble measuring things around the house and office before this bad boy came around! Now when my friends ask me to measure things, I am hasty to pull out my Stainless Steel Ruler.

    Pros.
    1. Stainless Steel
    2. has a nice cork backing
    3. Can measure up to a foot

    Cons.
    1. Is sharp, and can be used as a weapon.(this can also be a pro)
    2. Can NOT measure more than a foot.

    Needless to say I ordered many of these that way I could measure things of all sizes, it is cumbersome, but worth it in the end.
