Midori Aluminium + Wood Ruler 15cm Light Brown (42257006)

This is a high-quality, very well manufactured products. The edges are square, and noticeably so, but not Sharp. The joint in the middle is well machined and flawless. The ruler does not bend as it is thick aluminum and it doesn't flop around loosely or fold back in on itself unless you're giving it a bit of pressure while you use it. I have kind of a firm grip and unless I intentionally want to move it it won't flop around on me at the hinge. I really like that I can fold it down into half of its length to fit in my pochade box. I also like that it's much lighter than a steel ruler would be. I have the black one and it's also quite snazzy looking and attractive.

It is durable, effective, slim and extends. Really great.

With both sides are 15cm measurement, thats really nice for measuring left and right side! The aluminum used has quality, being lightweight and strong for a stationary. The wood is flimsy tho, it feels like made with Ikea pencils. Since it’s for aesthetic, I don’t mind its existence.

This material is aluminum lightweight: Silver or black, both are beautiful. They fold in half; on one side it does allow to draw a straight line! The 30 cm are very legible. There are no inch-indications! (30cm = 11.89”). Portable great for travel!

The image and description clearly show that this is a metric rule, so this is no ding on the company at all. But if you're US person looking quickly, you might assume there would also be inch marks, but there are not. The ruler itself is lightweight, sturdy, and straight when folded out.

Overall, this ruler is amazing. It's a sturdy aluminum ruler with a fastened, smooth metal joint. The edges are sharp so that unfolding the ruler makes sure the entire line is straight. The markings don't fade away and the printing is precise and clean.Only complaint? using it as a straightedge (which I mostly do) is a little difficult because it's slippery on the bottom. Solution? Press down hard.Overall, I loved this buy. Yes, $10-ish a little much, but honestly this'll last real long if you take care of it.

Amateur inventor and have a lot of ideas for little gadgets and projects, always plotting ideas into a sketchbook to revisit one day. I like the compact size of this ruler, it's protractor function (won't replace one for serious measurements, but good enough for a napkin blueprint), sturdy, feels good, easy to read at 45 years of age. I dig it!

This is one of the nicest tools I’ve owned.The ruler is sleek: - It folds smoothly into itself, making a subtle, yet satisfying, clasp-click sound when the metal reaches the metal upon closing it - The protractor lets you measure angles - The ridge (where the ruler connects and disconnects to fold) doesn’t affect the straightness of a line drawn - The tension from the hinge is loose enough for easy opening and closing, while tight enough to maintain an angle - The measurement markings are etched in and then painted - The ruler is small in both height and length (when folded)A couple of additional notes: For people who measure in inches, this measures only in millimeters and centimeters; conversion is an option. Also, while the hinge should last a long time, I’d be careful with opening and bending the ruler just in case.This ruler is well-designed, and I recommend it for anyone who wants a portable multipurpose ruler.

Fantástico producto gran calidad …. Para regalar también

***Don’t repeat my mistake: this rule is slightly too big for a traveler’s notebook in passport format.***Otherwise, the quality is very good. Mechanism is stiff. Donc expect a super high precision for them angles, though.Even if it’s too long for my initial need, I’ll keep it.

Well made accurate ruler. Folds very neatly into a carrying case (not included with the item).

Mittlerweile habe ich 3 von den Midori Linealen (das erste vor 5+ Jahren noch aus Japan bestellt). 2 in verschiedenen Federmäppchen und eins direkt im aktuellen Notizbuch.

Très bonne règle, avec absolument aucun écart entre les deux parties initialement quand la règle est repliée. Cependant après quelque temps (+- 2 mois pour ma part) si votre trousse est bien fournie et que vous vous déplacez un peu il semble qu'un léger jeu se crée (rien de bien gênant mais un peu dérangeant visuellement si vous y prêtez attention). Sinon très solide et précise, l'indicateur d'angle est très pratique pour faire des schémas rapidement. Je peux tracer des traits au stylo plume avec sans causer de bavures contrairement aux autres règles, ceci grace à la finesse du corps de la règle.
