After my experience shopping at the woodcraft store in new mexico (when they were here) ill never do business with them ever again!!! Im not surprised they had to shut down the store in NM due to their extreme unprofessional and rude customer service reps!!!

No! Don't run that rule through the bandsaw!
Seriously, though, these are very similar to of rule I use and the price seems decent. I'm surprised there's neither a giant ~4ft ruler or a bundle, but otherwise the lineup is fine. I may get some because I need metric rules and there's something different about these.
There's an interesting hook shape to the crown of the ruler which might work for some accessory I don't obviously see. One problem that rules have is that it's easy to put a stop that hangs over an edge, but it's tough to create a reference stop that works on a flat surface. There's a Bridge City T-Square that tries to resolve this with magnets, but it fails miserably. Even if none of the available accessories help you, you might be able to build it for this design.
Along those lines, I think having a slide stop for your set of rules is really important. Without the stop you can only measure, with the stop you can pretty easily reference. The slide stop is almost always out when I am using a rule.
The hook stop at the end might get used more, but with the rules I have, just like this one, the stop requires itself and screws. It's not terrible to add and remove the stop using the hex wrench, but it's about the pieces. It has two tiny screws and a tiny wrench, there are pieces to lose or drop (sure, I can find 6000 other wrenches). It's less universal so it's more likely to come on and off when in use.
For that reason, I have a small storage ziploc that clips to the wall (in a tacky fashion) next to the rules. It reached the point where the hook stop never comes out because I would always find a T-Square or saddle square or double square or eve the slide stop to use instead of the hook stop. If someone makes a hook stop which doesn't have tiny screws I might be into that.
