PRECISE Stainless Steel Ruler Trio | 24" (60 cm), 36" (90 cm), & 48" (120 cm) | Dual SAE & Metric System | Great Set for Multiple Measuring Tasks from 1" to 24"

I'm giving this 4 stars because the rulers themselves are decent quality, and about what I expected, and will meet my needs.HOWEVER - the listing is for a set of 24, 36, and 48" rulers. What I actually received is 24", 40", and 47" - which if you read the Q&A you'll see another person also reported. This will work for my needs so I'm not going to complain much, but beware if you really want the exact lengths of the listing as that is not what you'll get. I think I'll probably cut the 47" down to 30" as 24, 30 & 40 would actually be a more useful set for me.

I received my set of rulers with the smallest one missing. I contacted the seller with no response. The rulers seem to be nice enough but I would like the smaller one too, it and the largest one is why I purchased to begin with.

I was unable to use the 48" ruler because it was bent.They shipped a 2nd set out but used the same packaging method.I can't measure a flat surface with a bent ruler.

Arrived in a relatively sturdy package marked as "DO NOT BEND," but UPS apparently took that as a challenge and bent it anyway. But it's easy enough to bend it back so that's a non-issue.It's a bit odd that all three rulers have different brand names on them, and different styles of markings, but it doesn't matter.They're a bit thinner and floppier than some more expensive metal rulers. But that's kind of what I expected. Over all, they seem like a good deal.

I bought these because I wanted to be able to draw a perfect line, a straight line; among other reasons. Obviously you want the distances between marks to be very accurate, and so far they seem to be accurately spaced, giving you a good measurement. But a simple test will tell you that these are not straight. Take the two longest ones and put them together, edge to edge. Then put them up to a light. It is easy to see that light comes through, and comes through more in some areas, and barely at all in other areas. That means that one, or both, rulers are not straight. The company did not do a good job.

arrived well packaged, not bowed or bent, ready for a lifetime of use

I grew up on fractions. Never liked them. 30 years ago were were told metric was coming. The US was going Metric. Sorta wish we had. Its a more logical form of measurement. Much like reading in decimal in the inch scale. If you aren't up on Metric give it a try. You too may find it so much easier than converting and fighting fractions.
