. . . & yes I would have bought Walmart's metric ruler if I had not
read the negative post here, it looked handy

Just to be more specific, the ruler to which I refer is ~36-1/4" long (920
mm) and has the Popular Mechanics ä logo lithograph. I wrote both Wal-Mart
and Popular Mechanics magazine about the lousy quality, but never received
even a "screw you, Charlie" out of either of them.
