An alternative ruler, with some nice features

This ruler has worked out well for me, after I got used to it. I usually use Stanley's Fat Max rulers and have become accustomed to their use. Two things are different on this ruler compared to the Fat Max. The hook does not have a lip on top, this feature is what I miss the most, second, this ruler has an additional lock button positioned under the bottom of the outfeed slot, this I find most handy for making multiple fast inside measurements.This ruler will not stand out as far as the Fat Max, but I don't really find that to be much of a problem as I use this ruler for mostly shorter measurements. The case seems durable, with its rubber coating. There is a pencil sharpener built in, that I seldom use. The belt clip is different. It has a extension over its top that allows you to open the clip, making it easier to clip on, this is especially handy for me as I often clip this to the corner of my pocket and not all my pants have the stiffness to open a normal clip. This ruler also has a small surface that you can write on, which has on occasion, come in handy.

Pros
Cheap, Durable, Extra lock button
Cons
Learning curve, if your used to Stanleys Fat Max
Made in
China
