## Questions & Answers

**Q: Is this ruler only in inches or also metric?**
A: Its in both imperial and metric, although i wouldnt reccomend using it for measuring as its a strip plastic sticker type and the end doesnt match up square with the actual end of the straight edge, for checking flat surfaces though its totally perfect
