As ²graphic designer and keen hobbyist crafts person I am constantly measuring things. I have collected rulers for years and continue to do so. Your analysis of the typography is spot on. A key feature for me is also the line thickness of the finer graduations. The markings on my 100ths ruler (Rawbone Chesterman) are thicker than the divisions, which, in the world of precision engineering is an oversight which could easily be fixed. Thank you a penetrating look at one of my pet hobbies.
I never understood why people coo over Starrett tools. Then I got my hands on a combination square. It's light years better then any other square I've used. Yes it was price, but it's such a joy to use.
I loved how you went into such detail in your comparison-that was great!
Another issue is durability: I have seen Starrett rulers that have been in a toolbox for 30 years and are still as easy to read as when they were brand new. You spend few bucks more but in pays in the long run.
Starrett are one of the best……..
helpful video! thanks! I have a crazy, off-topic question for you. In the shots that you're looking directly at the camera and you can clearly see the ring from the light on your eyes, how did you stop it from glaring on your glasses?!?!?! i just picked up a good quality ring light and haven't used it because of the glare im getting. Please advise!
I totally agree with you about the Starrett, and wish the "black" was actually black. However it felt like your listing of the Starrett benefits were post-hoc. In other words, you chose the Starrett and then came up with the reasons you liked it.
I dunno, I know nothing about tool brands (like which ones are revered for quality) and even I could tell that the Starret's numbers and line markings are more immediately easy to read from afar because they're just much sharper and clearer. Then looking at the rest of the video only supports this initial impression, microscopes don't lie.
You didn’t check them on a flat surface with a feeler gauge
What's your opinion about Shinwa ruler? As it Conforms to Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) B 7516 Grade 1
Very helpful video. Thank you!
Very useful.
Thank you
OK. That was amazing.
Thanks, great vid
Great detailed analysis.
Don't bother with a ruler more "accurate" than 1/32. Anything smaller than that you should be using calipers to measure.
Yes.
Had a hard time getting past the pronunciation of Starrett he used. I did I appreciate the comparison & detail between the products however.
Me too... staaarrett vs stairrette
It’s imperial not US units…..just saying
Do you know of any pure metric rule
PEC and Starrett make metric-only steel rules.
Mititoyo makes another good one.
Maybe it's just me, but when I use a microscope, I just take off my glasses instead of removing the lenses from the frames.
beh... inches...
