Super handy...
This is a slick little scale (please don't call it a ruler!) that fits easily into my portfolio to take along to job sites or client meetings. You could even stick it in your shirt pocket and not worry about getting jabbed in the throat with it! It does just what I needed it to do. HANDY.

1.0 out of 5 stars Scale is inaccurate...
Reviewed in the United States on September 19, 2021
I took a chance that the numbering issue was corrected since the latest review on 8/20/21...It wasn't. The scales starting from the right (1/4", 3/8" and 1/2") are all numbered incorrectly. See the comparison between my Pro Art 12" scale and the Alvin 6" scale in the photo. If you do not need the scale measurements in question, then this will be a convenient size to carry anywhere. BUT, if you are a student or professional, you'll probably need all 8 size scales in order to do your work. I'm returning these...

2.0 out of 5 stars Graduations Labeled Incorrectly
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2021
I ordered two of the 6" Architectural Bevel Scales and received them both rather quickly and in good condition. For the price, I was pleased with the quality and clarity. Until I tried to use it. The 1/4" scale is labeled inaccurately in that it starts with 0 then jumps to 26, 28, 30 instead of 2, 4, 6, etc. A little annoying. I could continue to use it and subtract 24 from everything or simply return it for a refund. I chose the latter.
