B00CD9UC90, This precision 6″ 150 mm metric SAE rigid 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 0.750″ wide by .036″ 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. English /metric graduations have .5mm and mm on one side and quick-reading…, 4.5,

Title: An extraordinarily crafted, constantly needed instrument
Review: I’ve had my PEC Tools six-inch ruler since early 2015—over a decade of reliable service. My experience with it has been far better than some negative reviews suggest, which makes me wonder if there have been different manufacturing processes over the years.One point of note: the ruler is slightly wider than the listed 0.75 inches—mine measures exactly 2 cm (0.7874 inches). That detail doesn’t affect me personally since I mostly measure in millimeters, but it’s worth mentioning for precision-focused users.Unlike some reviewers, my ruler arrived perfectly flat, smooth on all six sides, and with crisp right-angle corners—almost sharp enough to open packages (a handy bonus!). I don’t have machinist-grade measuring tools, but for my home use, it’s been nothing short of excellent.I also appreciate its deep, nearly black finish with crisp white markings—it’s much easier to read than my silver-colored rulers, though it does have a slight shine. After more than 10 years, the paint job has held up remarkably well, with only shallow surface scratches that I can’t even feel.If I ever lost this ruler, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy another one. My only wish is that PEC made a version with 16ths or 8ths of an inch instead of the ultra-precise 64ths and 32nds—that would be perfect for those of us who don’t need machinist-level detail.Bottom line? This is an outstanding, rigid, durable ruler, and I’m happy to give it a full five-star rating.

Title: Satisfied
Review: Easy to read, very durable and perfect size. I kept losing the small 1/4” width ones my company was giving me do to all the climbing and crawling I do but now it fits in my pouch pretty snug.

Title: Very nice for a simple ruler.
Review: I play guitar and bass and like my instruments in top-notch condition and playability. I also really enjoy helping others keep their guitars set-up properly. This requires accurate measuring tools with very small increments that one can see well. I have two versions of 6″ rulers from this seller. One is this one, which measures in inches and then mm on the flip-side. The other measures in 32s and 64s on the flip-side, which is a very common set of measurements that luthiers use. The print on these rulers is amazing in how it stands out, and makes these rulers very easy use. I don’t have to squint very much to see the measurements. I will need some calipers soon, and I will check with this seller first from here on Amazon because of the experience I have had with the two rulers I have purchased. It just seems like a lot of thought went in to an otherwise simple device to make it as user-friendly as possible.

Title: Great durable precision very worth
Review: Fantastic ruler, very clear printed increments that are extremely durable. This guy has been an everyday carry for me at work now for a few months and the marks have shown no signs of fading and are still clear straight to the edge. On the “0” side of the ruler it is ground flat at the mark like a machinists rule which is very useful for measuring. I’ve even used this for prying and scraping small things several times and it looks brand new

Title: Easy to read
Review: Great ruler. High contrast and easy to read but it’s not a solid black as pictured, it’s more like old style case hardening where multiple colours can be seen depending on how the lighting is being reflected but the overall effect is a dark background to the white markings meaning the readability is fantastic unlike many metal rulers. I purchased both the 6″ and 12″ versions and definitely recommend these rulers.
