Review title: Poor Quality
Product review: First thing that tipped me off was out of the package, it would not lay flat on a bench, when fully closed. I pulled out the extension rule, it was not straight. It is not a solid brass bar, it is a thin "U" joint strip of warped metal.When I extended the ruler around three feet long, one of the hinges wouldn't hold. Other hinges are also loose, and some are so tight it will snap soon. You are supposed to oil the hinges, but then the unit would just collapse.It says assembled in USA of foreign components, it may as well be made in China, because there is no quality control, but then again almost all tools are crap these days, nothing is made to last!
