Decent budget option
It’s square and it’s accurate. That’s what counts, right? Well, you have to be able to use it without any fuss. That’s where the lower cost bites you.The scribing holes are too small - despite advertising that the holes are made for 0.5 mechanical pencils, I found this isn’t the case, as the lead barely fits so you can only get the faintest of lines. Useless if you’re working on anything darker than pine.Since there are so many holes and the numbers are so small, it’d be really helpful if the holes for 1” increments were more easily identifiable. Larger number, larger holes, or holes on their own row; something, because as it is, it takes some time and eye strain to make sure you’re trying to poke a pencil into the aforementioned ill sized holes.Lastly, the metal ruler is a bit too flimsy for my taste. It’s not tin foil, but I wouldn’t feel comfortable casually dropping this next to me on the workbench after using it for fear of bending the ruler.

Nice tool
This little jobber makes it a bit easier to draw a line parallel to a board’s edge. The rule portion is a bit flimsy, so if you’re planning on keeping it in an apron pocket, you probably want to rethink that. You’d have it bent out of shape in the first day.The first one I received looked like it took a beating before the anodizing was done; the aluminum was scarred up, with the red deep in the scars - obviously a manufacturing defect. S’all good though - they shipped a new one and it’s good.Would buy again (but would favor a mfr that uses a thicker rule).

almost perfect
i gave this a 5 star even though when i recieved it, it had a small bend in it at the end. it probably happened in transit and i was able to bend it back almost straight and it doesnt really hurt my ability to use it. every thing else about this product was great.

How did I ever get by without this tool?!!
I found this item in a specialty catalog for modelers. I assumed it to be a simple novelty. I bought it in deciding to either use my mini miter/saw (that I already own) or buying a new strip rip accessory. For me, I assumed both as limited in their use.Using the Tiny "T", I wonder now how I ever completed anything without it! For accuracy to 1/64th inch, it certainly is an essential. It is high quality stainless steel, truly square with precise and exact marking guides. The holes are tiny: I thought I needed a special pencil but the lead pointer that I already had is just fine. For any beginning modeler, the Tiny "T" will eliminate a lot of frustration that happens when pieces don't fit together and all the hours of hard work result in a crude finished product. For an intermediate, the Tiny "T" will elevate your accuracy and assist in the goal of realism. I sincerely believe anyone at an advance level has this tool in their special sauce for success recipe.If I could give BEYOND 5 Stars for accuracy and easy to read & use, I would. This tool is a game changer, seriously.

Most accurate as described
Great product for details in woodworking. Though you must treat this ruler with care due to the construction of the metal sheet that allows the fine scrubbing of lines on your project. It is very delicate.

Amazing tool
Picked this up after seeing a Incra Tiny-T ruler being used on a youtube video. I liked that this was 6inches vs the 3inch Incra. This thing is awesome and extremely convenient. It is accurate and smooth to use. It easily fits my 7mm mechanical pencil lead. Really I don't think I've bought a more useful tool recently. Great product for laying out lines and a great alternative to the higher priced brand.

like the bigger siblings, works great
Originally I bought the 12” and have come to realize that I needed a shorter rule.After buying the 6” I still needed an even shorter rule. For things like inner measurement of drawers for handles was the big plus. Also, drawing lines down the wood for <3” is better handling than the 12” or 6”.I had great success with the 12” and after getting the 6”, I also bought the 3”.I now have a complete set to use as I need.With any rule, checking for accuracy is number one. I’ve not found any issues with the accuracy. I checked this against a few other measurement tools that I know are accurate.

Great idea
Good concept, squares well, however the holes are so small you have to use surgical pencils. Practically useless to me.
