Mr. Pen6 Inch, 2 Pack, Pocket Size Ruler, Small Architectural Scale

Very nice

These are so darn cute and handy.

Good

Pro - really a nice quality bit of kit.Fits perfectly in my pen case, sturdy but light, nice anodized finish. You can put enough pressure down on the upright/vertical spine to hold it in position with just a couple fingers and it is quick and maneuverable on small sketch pads, slides between double loop wire bindings! it is going to absolutely rock as a straight-edge. Just feels classy!Con - the limited surface area has forced the creators to put use label sizes that cause the measured rule lines to NOT line up from face to face. (I think this could have been avoided with better font choice- or just setting the alignment off the zero tick instead).-this really isn't a deal breaker, no one is going to do serious drafting with this tool, I mean, hardly any serious drafting is done on paper anyway. BUT I have gotten burned on this twice now when laying out a sketching grid for perspective. I just have to remember to ensure the tick marks are aligned on the working edge. Again, not a huge deal but it feels like an annoyance that could have been pretty easily avoided.

These mini architectural scales are perfect to keep in bags when you don't want or can't carry around a full sized 12" scale but need a scale with all the typical architectural scale options.I picked up a variety of these for mini holiday gifts for coworkers. This set is green and orange, but also got black, red and blue as well. All have the markings etched into the aluminum and infilled with a white paint. The colored coating is easy to add initials with a sharp object (if you expect coworkers to walk away with yours).

So much fun! Take it everywhere in my travelers journal! I gave one away and need to order more. They get a lot of attention!

I had some scale rulers back in my college days so I knew they would be small, but I was expecting them to be weightier and sturdier. The combo of the small size and the lightness makes them more difficult to use then you would think.Based on the quality - these are probably just drop shipped and sold at a markup, which means you are overpaying for them.

Good
