Mayes 10187 18 Inch Aluminum Ruler, Lightweight Straight Edge Ruler for Construction, Architecture, Drawing, and Engineering, Accurate and Straight Edge Measuring

Does ruler things 10/10

Replaced old 18” ruler from 1979.

A great ruler. It could be a bit thicker, but then it would cost more.

This is a great USA Made 18 inch ruler, especially considering the dirt cheap price (under 4 bucks as of this writing). It is made of aluminum which is lightweight, great for artists but it is also pretty soft metal so may not be the best choice for shop use, especially if your are someone who doesn't take great care for their tools. The softness of the metal is actually a benefit if used for layout, especially with a marking knife as it will not damage your marking knife. The lines are thicker and not as precise as in my Starrett combination square, but they are good enough for rough layout, and also MUCH cheaper than a Starrett. This will mostly see use for my art courses, but also in the shop as needed.

I needed a ruler that was sturdy, legible, and I could wash over & over for my dough. This works perfectly. I make rectangle hand pies and this is perfect for measuring out the lines for cutting. I also measure the diameter of my pie crusts and this ruler is perfect. Arrived quickly and no damage. Very pleased with the product and seller.

Its so inexpensive. I needed a fret leveler for my electric guitar. I used a Dremel and a cut-off wheel. I used a sharpie to mark where I needed to cut. I used a small round file to open the slot I cut. It works like a charm. And there's two sides, so if you own two guitars, you have two levelers. Perfect!

It's good and sturdy but some numbers were scratched.. I was able to use it though. I could read the scratched numbers but it was just annoying that a new item is not in new condition..

After reading other reviews I was prepared for numbers rubbing off so what I did was I covered the full length of the ruler with clear packing tape and now it’s my favorite ruler. I’ve used it everyday for hours on end for my leather business and this thing is great.
