Tools and Hardware Reviews of General Tools 1216 12-Inch Flex Stainless Steel Rule

Customer Review: Flexible but not precise
Summary: 1 Stars

This rule is generally of fine quality, the markings are etched and in a nice contrasting black so it's easy to read and the markings are not likely to wear off.

It's got graduations in 8ths, 16ths, 32nds and nicely 64ths for those who can see that small.

This ruler is indeed very flexible which is handy for measuring curved surfaces.

The biggest flaw however, is it did not live up to its claim of being a precision rule. The starting end of the ruler is visibly ground or cut 0.5mm too short rendering measuring from the ends useless!

I originally bought 2 of them but both had the same flaw, so it's not a fluke.

Pass on this ruler for precision unless you can work around this or can tolerate the lack of quality.
