This 78″ Milwaukee engineer’s folding ruler is made of a composite material giving it strength and durability the older versions didn’t have. The joints are stronger than the old ones and because they are not metal, they don’t block the numbers and fractional markings. All of the markings are stamped into the ruler so the won’t rub off over time.It is stamped with large, easy to read numbers. One side has the standard fractions of an inch whereas the other side divides feet into 10ths for convenience. There are also markings on the side so you can determine common angles.I remember, as a kid, being mesmerized with the folding ruler my handyman neighbor had and spending hours making different shapes with it. The one thing that hasn’t changed about the new folding ruler is it is still fun to play with.

I use this in the field while performing my duties as a Special Inspector. I prefer to buy high quality tools whenever possible. This composite folding rule has exceeded my expectations and it lives up to its description.

The quality appears good. I usually do not buy Milwaukee so we will see how this works in years to come.

Bought this along with other pieces to make a starter set for a young person. Seems like a good choice!

Not much new about this standard carpenters 6 1/2 foot ruler? Wrong! Light weight and operates very smoothly. No metal to rust positive locking system it’s entirely made of a very light weight composite material. It has been engineered with hash marks on the edge for setting common used angles in the building industry great idea!. Time will tell if it can handle the rigors of real use….I think so!

A good tool for surveying, the markings are very clear, and the 6.5′ is nice as most are only 6′.The only down side to it is its longer than other brands so pouches made for other brand may not work well with this one.

If you’ve owned folding rulers made of wood then you know how handy they truly are, both in the workshop and around the house. Plus, they’re just fun and fascinating to kids and big kids, too. The one drawback is that one false move and they break, so you need to take great care when folding or unfolding and watch out for closing doors. Although I never had a problem with wear to the markings, I’ve heard that some people would wear them off sometimes, as well.Fast forward to today and I’m holding a space age plastic version of the engineer type folding ruler in my hand. This is a tough unit and flexible enough so that it would be very hard to break, even on purpose. Yes, it is a type of plastic, but this composite is tough, resistant to oils and solvents, and it has the markings pressed in to a good depth.To be truthful, my grandfather really didn’t like me playing with his folding ruler when I was a kid and I can understand why. But I don’t think I’d have any reservations about letting my grand children play with this once in awhile.

Rulers look good. They seem well put together and should last a long time.

6.56 long not a standard 6ft survey ruler. Quality is good but some numbers are tough to read because of where the ruler breaks/bends on 10ths and 100 side.

We use this around water a lot and the numbers have not rubbed off, since it isn’t wood it hasn’t been impacted by that either.

Works great for measuring HI’s on survey instruments. Always reliable with precise measurements!

I needed one of these and used it during a bathroom remodel when holding a tape measure just wouldn’t work. The ruler folds out nice and back together easily. The vulnerable ends are metal so it won’t chip or wear, giving a good measurement each time. The numbers and tick marks are all engraved in the ruler so if the paint wears one day, the mark is still there. It folds up nice and compact… if only I knew where I put it…

Durable and very accurate love this thing.

A well made folding rule with engraved markings (handy for “hidden” measurements, where you can put your fingernail in the ruled line to hold the spot), with enough rigidity to snake up to or over items to be measured. The non-conductive composite construction is a plus for working around electrical equipment. The angle markings (22 1/2, 30, 45 and 60 degrees) permit use as a protractor (note: the markings are on the edge of the rule, not the face), though the extension of the rule section past the hinge joint prevents laying it flat on a surface…it will have to overhang. Marking in fractional inches as well as hundredths and tenths of a foot is handy. The decimal markings are convenient for subdividing material into proportionally equal parts. Only time will tell if the hinge joints hold up, but they appear to be robust while the molded protuberances and cooperating recesses provide a positive detent to hold the rule at ninety degree intervals.
