Review: Perfect carry-all-the-time 6" pocket machinist ruler - For under $10 this little ruler is just what I needed: Small - only 6 inches long, Sturdy - 1" wide, .040" thick and .95 ounce in weight, Finish - brushed chrome, Measurements - 1/8" and 1/16" increments on one side and 1/32" and 1/64" on the other. There are no metric measurements. That's good, as I have no need for them. I really love this ruler's thickness and width compared to many competing rulers. It's accurate, beautifully made and just feels more substantial. I carry it in the left breast pocket of my carpenter's apron for quick access anywhere in my shop. This ruler may not have the best finish compared to some of the most expensive rulers, but it's certainly good enough for me. You can't beat it for its price. I have no problem recommending it. Review: Most-used tool in my shop - I keep this little gem in the breast pocket of my work apron. Throughout a work session I probably reach for it at least a couple dozen times to use for project dimensions, tool set-ups, etc. The way the increments are laid out took a bit to get used to but now I find it intuitive and I like it. Etched lines are easy to catch with a marking knife and are usually easy to read. The only nit I'd pick with it is that I wish it had more of a matte finish since the surface can reflect light causing it to be a little difficult to read in certain lighting conditions. ## Features - Made from hardened spring steel. - Rigid blade is 6" long, .040” thick and 1” wide - Rule is precision photo etched and black filled for long life and easy readability - Graduated with quick reading 1/8" and 1/16" increments on one side and 1/32" and 1/64" on the other - Brushed finish ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B06XR37NJ8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #455,231 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #854 in Construction Rulers | | Brand | Taytools | | Brand Name | Taytools | | Color | Chrome | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 276 Reviews | | Graduation Range | 1/64 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W | 6"L x 1"W | | Manufacturer | Taylor Toolworks LLC | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | MRSAE | | Product Dimensions | 6"L x 1"W | | Style | Classic | | Style Name | Classic | | UPC | 791617732292 | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Taytools - **Color:** Chrome - **Graduation Range:** 1/64 inches - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Style:** Classic ## Images ![Taytools 6 Inch Rigid Machinist Rule Ruler Hardened Spring Steel 4R Graduations in 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 and 1/64 Inches MRSAE - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81r7NSMANaL.jpg) ![Taytools 6 Inch Rigid Machinist Rule Ruler Hardened Spring Steel 4R Graduations in 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 and 1/64 Inches MRSAE - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91GXXYJsceL.jpg) ![Taytools 6 Inch Rigid Machinist Rule Ruler Hardened Spring Steel 4R Graduations in 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 and 1/64 Inches MRSAE - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81p-uCB5J2L.jpg) ![Taytools 6 Inch Rigid Machinist Rule Ruler Hardened Spring Steel 4R Graduations in 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 and 1/64 Inches MRSAE - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81rxcfoIXwL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect carry-all-the-time 6" pocket machinist ruler *by W***Z on April 27, 2025* For under $10 this little ruler is just what I needed: Small - only 6 inches long, Sturdy - 1" wide, .040" thick and .95 ounce in weight, Finish - brushed chrome, Measurements - 1/8" and 1/16" increments on one side and 1/32" and 1/64" on the other.

Throughout a work session I probably reach for it at least a couple dozen times to use for project dimensions, tool set-ups, etc. The way the increments are laid out took a bit to get used to but now I find it intuitive and I like it. Etched lines are easy to catch with a marking knife and are usually easy to read. The only nit I'd pick with it is that I wish it had more of a matte finish since the surface can reflect light causing it to be a little difficult to read in certain lighting conditions. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This is my 3rd Taytools ruler *by T***1 on October 11, 2024* Amateur woodworker, but I like using a ruler that doesn't add a little extra space at the end. In other words I like using a ruler that starts its scale at the edge (if that makes sense). That way it is easier to measure depth. I had the 12" and 24" already. The paint doesn't wear off as happened in my other ones. And since it is actually steel and not a mystery material, it actually sticks to my magnet bars that I have on various benches to quickly hold a tool. ## Frequently Bought Together - Taytools 6 Inch Rigid Machinist Rule Ruler Hardened Spring Steel 4R Graduations in 1/8, 1/16, 1/32 and 1/64 Inches MRSAE - Taytools 12" Rigid Machinist Rule Ruler Hardened Spring Steel 4R Graduations in 1/8", 1/16", 1/32" and 1/64" MRSAE-12 - Taytools 24" Rigid Machinist Rule Ruler Hardened Spring Steel 4R Graduations in 1/8", 1/16", 1/32" and 1/64" MRSAE-24 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/62170653-taytools-6-inch-rigid-machinist-rule-ruler-hardened-spring-steel](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/62170653-taytools-6-inch-rigid-machinist-rule-ruler-hardened-spring-steel) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-10*
