Taytools Rulers Editorial Review

The Aluminum Straight Edge is a precision tool designed for testing the flatness of various surfaces. It has a thickness of 10.5mm and its width is 7/16 inches while length is 18 inches. The non-machined edge is true, and the tool is highly resistant to warping as it's made of thick aluminum which conducts heat quickly. However, it's important to take good care of the tool and not to grind the tool's shape into a whetstone. Most customers were impressed with the quality of the product and found it to be a heavy-duty piece of aluminum. They appreciated that it came in a sturdy tube to prevent any damage. Additionally, they confirmed that it was machined well and worked as expected. A few customers had concerns about sliding but, overall, it was a good purchase for the price.
