Would RecommendUse these straight edge rulers in my shop as well as in my go box, Love the fact that I've never had them rust or become unreadable even using them inside and out on the job site exposing them to the elements.

Straight edge
Would Not RecommendConnection point between the two pieces has a lot of slop when any pressure is applied to the straight edge. I stabilized it by clamping a 2x4 beside the straight edge.

Excellent!
Would RecommendThis was more than 1/2 price of a more expensive one @ Lowe's, yet works perfectly!

Lots of slop
Would Not RecommendThere is a lot of slop between the two pieces and the short bar that connects them together. If you are making a long cut and need it to be truly straight you'll want to put another straight edge alongside it and make sure it is aligned properly.

straight edges
Would RecommendI used it for almost all of the project in the last two weeks in building projects that require line over 6 ft long. It work great and it was cheap[. Just as good as some of the high end items.

Straght edge
Would RecommendI used this to make a cove edge with my router. It performed adequately. A suggestion is to have pre-drilled holes in the middle of the edge to secure it to the work if that is possible with your project. I could not use the c-clamps provided and I had to drill holes to screw the tool down to prevent movement. The photo below is a early attempt using a screw to keep the guide in place.
