Violetfox 3-Piece Precision Metal Slide Rule - Inch & Metric T-Type Scribing Ruler - 6/8/12 Inch

Perfect if just starting out good price to start learning it’s done everything I’ve asked of it

Nothing I don't like about these Pocket Rulers. They are great quality and provide for both inches and cm/mm. Great value.

I actually purchased both products that are on this page. For the rulers, there's not a whole lot to say - they are as advertised and the finish is pretty nice. There are some not-quite right areas, like how they didn't chamfer the cutout making it a little sharp, and the sliders don't all fit very well onto the rulers in order to stand them up. But over all, they're pretty good for the price. More interesting though is the protractor/angle finder. I've seen other knock-offs of Woodpeckers In-Dexable system that are clearly just plastic garbage. But this thing is, surprisingly, pretty legit! Before I go further though, I must point out the biggest downside of this product compared to what it's knocking-off: There is no "indexable" feature, despite the blade having the cutout circles along the middle, there is no way to lock the rule at one-inch increments as the Woodpeckers version can. That limits your ability to scribe accurately with the scribing notches unless you line it up carefully. But on to the good: The blade and body both appear to be aluminum, the finish is pretty nice and smooth, there's nothing oily or gummy anywhere and the mechanism moves easily. The marking are pretty accurate, and it has scribing notches down to 16ths and markings on one of the edges down to the 32nds. One of the edges is also metric, though the scribing notches are for the imperial sides so I'm not really sure why they included that. I think the ruler itself is pretty nice without the head, and with it you have some great angle marking abilities. A couple areas that I don't love though: The two set screws on the bottom to lock the angle are a bit fiddly, you really have to give them a good twist to get them nice and locked down. There are also no positive stops for any of the angles, so you have to be sure to line the blade up with the edge of the line marking the degree you want in order to set it accurately. Lastly, the whole thing is pretty bulky, the ruler is about 1.5" wide and it's over 17" long. That is of course useful, but I didn't really anticipate just how big it would be. Over all, for the price this seems pretty nice. I was expecting the worst and prepared to have to return it, but I've been pleasantly surprised. The rulers were also pretty good, not perfect, but satisfactory.

These are precise, well made and convenient. Way cheaper than the famous Red Brand. Come in a storage foam that i personally kept for ease of storage.

La calidad de los materiales es buena, facilita mucho el trabajo por las diferentes posiciones en las que se puede utilizar, el único detalle seria que hubiera versiones de tamaño mayor o accesorios opcionales para tener mas longitud,
