I am a property manger/DIYer and I purchased this ruler some time ago. I find myself taking it everywhere. It's well made and legible without reading glasses!

Like at least one other reviewer here, I realized after it was too late that this thing is fiberglass and leaves painful bits in your fingers if you don't use it with gloves or have especially tough leather hands. Maybe I don't work with my hands enough. Fiberglass bits, just like the things this ruler sheds, are literally what they use for itching powder.

Bought this ruler couldn't get used to the backwards markings of they came out with one marked the opposite I'd be all over it.

This is a great folding ruler! It's very well made, much more durable than the old style wooden rulers, a pleasure to use... but... please, please, please... can you make a model that is inside reading, LEFT-TO-RIGHT, on the other side. This is the classic layout of the old Lufkin 966 rulers used by every great carpenter I've ever known.

As others have said: it doesnt make sense to have the numbers printed the same way on both sides of the rule. I always read on the inside. Sometimes I measure right to left sometimes I measure left to right. There are two sides to this rule. Why can one side be printed reading right to left and the other printed left to right. Otherwise, its perfect.
