    Default Karen Kay Buckley Perfect Adjustable Square

    Hi Guys,

    Do any of you have this ruler? I am thinking of purchasing one but would like opinions before I buy.

    Hugs

    Caroline

    Amazon shows good reviews. Seems a little pricey to me.

    No experience with the ruler. It does seem pricey. Make sure the lines are easy for you to read.

    I don't have one and probably wouldn't buy it. I am wary of things that fit together where I am supposed to be cutting straight. I am wary of having a problem with the joinings not being totally even.

    Edited to add: Through the years I have collected a lot of rulers and can do anything I need to do with them. One thing I could do with this one is to lose an important part and never be able to use it again. Nope, I wouldn't buy it.

    I have these. Do not use them very often....maybe twice in the 4 or 5 years I've had them. I find them hard to put together and take apart. It seemed like a good idea at the time...
    I have many other rulers in different sizes that I don't have to put together.
    So....I'd say ....pass....

    I got the set from my guild Secret Santa a few years ago. I love the box it comes in. It's beautiful and I can always find the rulers. LOL I have used them a few times and glad I had them. I didn't have any trouble with putting the rulers together.

    Having to count the inches all the time (no markings) to cut would wear me out. Not my cup of tea.

    I bought a used one from eBay. It's a bit tricky to put together, but doable.

    I like the fact that I can get a really big square when I want one without having to have a ginormous square to store... and the box is delightful. I love looking at it.

    I used a small rubber mallet to give the joins a little whack and it snaps into place perfectly. Much easier then pushing with fingers. You want a tight fit so it won't come apart so that part is a plus. No problem getting the pieces apart with a slight bend and pull.
