Works well and accurate

I rated this as a 5, but would prefer to label this 4.5 because I prefer a different method of labeling. As a point of reference I will compare this to a vintage Craftsman No 3934, so over 50 years old probably but still looks brand new.

of all the modern folders that I own or have tried, this is my preferred folder, even if I would prefer that it marked feet.

The Lufkin has brass on the very ends, the Craftsman does not. This should provide protection on the very ends.

The Lufkin is easier to operate than the craftsman and has the standard 16th inch markings and only has numbers in inches. There are no markings to identify feet. !6 inch marks are in red.

My only complaint is that I prefer the markings on the Craftsman. Along the top, you can easily read 3F 4 inches and along the bottom each inch is marked. 16 inch marks on the craftsman are delineated with a black diamond, so that is easier to see on the Lufkin.

One end of the Craftsman has a 7" brass slider that can extend if desired.

I believe that the modern Milwaukee folding rule will mark off feet, but it is plastic and does not feel nearly as nice as the Lufkin. The Klein is mostly the same. The primary outlier is Stabilla that has numerous specialty folders.

From all those I have tested, I like the really old Craftsman even though I prefer how the Lufkin folds, so out of the modern folders that I have (I do not own a Stabila), this is the one I would buy.
