NOKKO 12 Inch Architectural Scale Ruler - Imperial Measurements, Professional Aluminum Drafting Tools for Architects, Engineers, Interior Designers, Students, and DIY Projects - Architecture Supplies

Quality materials, feels nice and heavy, the ruler was an added bonus as I really only needed the scales.Being metal, the corners can be sharp which may cause tears in plans if not careful when using.The numbers are clear and legible with the contrasting white on black color.Very good value for the price.

Very clear and easy to read, they are made of aluminum and do not chip or nick like plastic ones can. The price made this set a great deal and the quality is very good.Highly recommend.

Well made, easy to use/read.

These are well made rules with precise features that are clear to read. Having used lighter weight plastic rulers for decades this is a transition to metal. The metal ones are slightly heavier as well as being slippery.In time I will get used to them. I have no reservations about purchasing them. I will get used to using them and appreciate the clarity of the scales.

There's always a "but...", isn't there?Anyway, rock solid, easy to read, accurate. Everything you should want in a scale.Now for the "but...". But, the corners are super sharp. In less than a months I have stabbed myself half a dozen times just brushing against it on my desk. I have not drawn blood, yet, but I have no doubt it is only a matter of time. This is not good, and loses a star. Please round off or chamfer the corners.

I can never seem to find enough rulers in the house. These worked out perfectly. My son is using the architect (he is building a tiny house so this helped him draw of a kitchen plan for the cabinets). My husband took the straight edge, and by default I received the engineering version and love it. They are high quality, and worked out well for us all.

I am an architect and a bit old school to boot. I am also very particular, or shall we say OCD so needless to say I bought 3 different scale sets from amazon. more on that later but first to my point. Buy this scale!!! Its easy to read, straight, durable, etched and accurate. I compared it to my 30 plus year old scale and it measured up perfectly. I find that the white on black makes it really easy to read. A few weeks earlier I bought another aluminum scale that was kind of a gun metal finish with a color stripe on each side. I really love the look of that scale as well and it too sems very accurate. The only problem with it is that the metal catches the light and reflects back making it difficult to read.

I’ve worked with drawings for over 40 years and these are the best scale rulers I’ve ever touched. The machine work is great and the scales are accurate. I checked them in a number of way and they’re dead on. Too nice for a young draftsman, get them some plastics. Later in your career when you can appreciate these, get them.

Waiting for my order.
