Since 1869, Crescent Lufkin® has stood at the forefront of measuring tools and equipment, with industry-leading quality and innovation. We enable the consumer or professional user with reliable, precise, durable lines of products, including our wooden measuring rules. Since patenting the Lufkin Folding Rule in 1919, we've been manufacturing top-quality tools, like this rule which features brass joints, clear graduation markings, and highly visible red root figures. Lufkin Red-End Wood Rule is the first choice of carpenters and other professional craftsman. Rule has bold red and black markings with a sharp contrast for easy reading.
