PERFECT MEASURING TAPECo. FR-72 Carpenter's Folding Rule Lightweight Composite Construction Ruler with Easy-Read Inch Fractions - 6.5ft / 2m

This measuring stick is terrible...when it arrived in the mail I was excited to have it for work but when I held the stick in my hand I felt how flimsy it was and to no avail when I unreeled the stick it bent straight down to the floor like a wet noodle....what the point of a measurement stick if it cannot stand straight ...if you plan on measuring more than 30 inches this is not the ruler for you...save your shipping and handling money....I lost $1.50 paying for the padded folder you are asked to return it in....so now I'm down -$1.50 just for even trying this product 😒☹️😖

The material that this stick is made of offers an ideal combination of rigidity and flexibility. It has easy to read markings and is water proof(unlike the wood versions). I am planning to use it to check water depth prior to crossing with my UTV. The compact size when collapsed makes it fit easily into my toolbox without taking up too much space. I am happy with this item and would buy it again (If I lose this one somehow..lol)

slightly flexible, not what i expected vs the wooden rules. You can't take it to 4 ft and expect to poke it to the ledger if you were working on a deck or similar setup. Will need a person to hold the other end. Vertical measurements work just fine, it just won't hold its weight well for horizontal dimensions.

I purchased this for my RV and appreciate the way it folds making it easier to store. It doesn't seem very sturdy but it should hold up fine for occasional use. The cost was approximately $10 at the time I purchased and I would not recommend paying any more. A couple of dollars less would seem more appropriate for the quality. However, having pointed that out, if you have limited storage space, this item is helpful.

This makes it so easy when your in a hurry you can make your marks where you need them with out having to count what you need.
