Westcott Engineers' Protractor Ruler, Dual-Scales Cm and Tenths-Inch, Back-to-School, School Supplies, Classroom Supplies, 6-Inch

This is a convenient device for measuring angles and small lengths. I got this to throw in my to-go box of drawing and sketching tools. The only downsides are 1 - the markings are printed, not etched so, it'll wear off eventually, and 2 - it's difficult to read because the device is so small. But, size, weight, price are what makes this so good. (My pic has shadowing & isn't the best - printed markings are nice & sharp.) It's for occasional use, not daily heavy duty use. All in all, a good buy.

The Good - This little ruler / protractor is surprisingly accurate! I wasn't expecting too much for the price, just wanted it as a general sketching tool, but then it helped me discover that my $100+ precision carpentry square wasn't really "square" after all. I couldn't believe it at first, but then I went and checked it on a machinist's precision reference square and sure enough, my expensive square wasn't 'square' and the sub-$2 ruler was not only square, but also more accurate.The (very minor) negative - This thing would be a grand-slam if the increments were in 16ths of an inch, rather than 10ths of an inch (which is neither metric nor SAE / imperial). Even if it was metric it would be okay, but 10ths of an "inch" are really only useful to a draftsman (machinists measure in 1000ths).Anyway, very handy little ruler for all kinds of stuff, so I highly recommend!

Accurate, good little ruler, bought it for an art class. But oh my god why did the Amazon delivery driver ring the doorbell when delivering this at 4:30 in the morning??? I wasn't having some kind of measurement based emergency. I guess if you really need to tell if something is at a 45 degree angle at 5am then Amazon prime has your back LOL

This ruler is small enough to fit in my sketchbook and also was extremely affordable.I am very pleased with the addition of various angles compared to their other small rulers.Very useful tool

It's good, cheap and convenient for carrying around to engineering school and drawing free body diagrams. It is kind of soft and flexible. However, it does crack so it is not at all that flexible enough to withstand regular abuse. That's annoying because I had to replace this several times. I now keep it in a hard pencil case, so it's fine.

I initially bought this tool because I glanced at it without checking measurements and then misread the price as being in the $12 range.When it arrived, I laughed at my error: I thought I was buying something to help cut 2 meter long leather hides at an appropriate angle.However this is the perfect tool for me when I’m sketching out designs in one of the many journals I am constantly carrying around and doodling in.About the same dimensions (and a tiny bit thicker) than a cheap bookmark, I highly recommend it to anyone fond of journaling.

Does the job well not too flimsy
