WEN
The WEN ME899R is a compact, T-shaped pocket marking edge ruler designed for woodworking and layout tasks, featuring a large edge that wraps around workpieces for stability. It is constructed from rust-resistant, CNC-machined anodized aluminum and includes 1mm holes spaced every 1/32 inch for precise pencil line marking. This palm-sized tool is ideal for drawing parallel lines on narrow workpieces up to 2 inches wide.

Expert Opinion
No dedicated professional reviews from sources like ToolGuyd or Fine Woodworking were found. Retail descriptions uniformly emphasize the tool's precision and durability, labeling it as heavy-duty for quick, repeatable marking. A YouTube short compared it favorably to Woodpeckers Paolini Pocket tools as part of a 'coolest ruler set' but provided no in-depth technical analysis.
