B00UPJYOIA, This precision 12 5R flexible ruler is made in the USA by Products Engineering Company (PEC Tools), a premier tool manufacturer. Rule is made from spring tempered and hardened steel and is .500 wide by .020 thick. It has a high-contrast black chrome finish that provides better rust resistance than polished steel and can be easily read in both low and bright light conditions. The sides of each rule are ground parallel and each end is accurately ground square to allow reading from either end. 5R graduations have 1/10 and 1/100 on one side and quick-reading 1/32 and 1/64 on the other…., 4.5,

Title: Perfect thin, flexible, and easy to read ruler
Review: I was looking for a 12″ thin and flexible steel ruler with clear easy to read markings. Key for me was thin and flexible – I’d purchased a few other rulers and they were all thicker and mostly rigid. This ruler is perfect for my work. The graduations are fantastic for measuring to precise lengths and I’ve found the need to purchase another as I’m always wanting to use this in lieu of my other shop rulers. One item to note is that this ruler is only 1/2″ wide – I personally like it being thinner but it is not your “standard” width.

Title: The Machinist’s Ruler
Review: Excellent for machine work. High contrast allows easy read against bright, reflective metal backgrounds (aluminum, stainless, etc.) and under bright shop lighting conditions. Graduation in tenths is extremely practical for checking work while it’s on the machine table or for laying out work. Couldn’t ask for a better shop ruler.

Title: Excellent Ruler.
Review: I thought there was only a 6 inch version of this ruler, but now I know there’s 12 inch version too. And I can measure in hundredths up to a foot.

Title: Perfect for use in inspection/flash photography.
Review: I’ve found these useful for inspection work. Because of their darker finish, they can be photographed in low light with a flash, and are clearly legible in the photo. Typical steel rulers create a glare that makes them ineffective for demonstrating measurements with flash photography.

Title: Very narrow! And flexible! read dimensions carefully
Review: From the picture, I thought this would be a standard 1″ wide, stiff metal ruler….in fact, it is only 1/2″, and very thin and flexible. As long as you are aware of that, it is fine.

Title: Shipping without reinforced packaging is a waste of time and ruins a good ruler
Review: I received my ruler in a box with another item, which was large and 3 lbs… Ruler was just tossed into the box, no protection. Even the plastic bag was torn open. As one might expect, the ruler is bent. So it is useless for measurements in a 2D or ‘FLAT’ domain. Measuring a BALL? great idea… but for this price, a cardboard or other protection for shipping would be recommended OR just pick up the ruler in person.As for the markings and feel of the product? seems fine I like the black face with high contrast markings. thin profile ensures accurate transfer of scale reading to marking, etc. NOW, if I could just get one that is straight and flat!!!

Review: I love this little ruler, and I’m not exaggerating when I say little. Is 1/2″ X 12″ but it’s perfect for precise layout work.
