I have two of them, one with the laser-engraved 6" rule, and one that I purchased on clearance from Woodcraft without any rule. My 6" rule is a little worse for the wear, so I'm thinking about having a stainless rule made to replace it.

The ruler is in inches on one side and MM on the other side. When I was at Harbor Freight last week I noticed that the price was listed at $22.95 now. I have used it a little but don't know how to use it effectively as it doesn't come with any instructions. It is a very good quality tool. I purchased the 12 inch one at Harbor Freight for $19.95.

It is exactly the same as the one sold by GarrettWade for $34.95. In fact, I believe the tool is made for GarrettWade by Rockler. It is a very good quality tool that proven to be very useful to me. I keep it in my pocket when I'm woodworking and use it for most of my measuring and marking tasks. At $12.95, it's one of the best tool values I've ever had! My Dad used to use one (back in the 1930's through 1970's) and he used to swear by it.

If I see something that I like I will look for it elsewhere. I looked at one of these at wood craft and it seems very solidly made.

At the $70 price-point, I would need to be a big fan to shell out for this reproduction of a old-time favorite.

The company that makes them now is a very well known and well respected company, IIRC. So even though they are made overseas, the magazine had good things to say about them.

I am however a bit concerned with it's "Made In Taiwan" country of origin. This may well be an exception but typically tools from Taiwan are not good quality.
