Yes, but I prefer the Czech Edge ruler stop for narrower rules because it rests on three blocks rather than two like the Woodpecker ruler stops.  Although, I do use the larger Woodpecker ruler stop for the wider Woodpecker Woodworking Rules.

I have two of the aluminum Paolini pocket rules  AND the Kreg Multi Mark.     

The Kreg Multi Mark is ALWAYS in my pockets.  I like the thickness of the blue plastic.  As well as the other nice features is capable of. 

The Paolini rules are nice.  But I have big hands, the Kreg Multi Mark fits me better.  I wish Kreg made a bigger version of the Multi Mark.

I have not gotten to much into the Woodpecker one off tools. I think for what they are, the prices are a little steep. However, their stuff is very high quality and very precise.

The Kreg Multi Mark that Eric mentioned and a few others, I LOVE! I use it all the time, and I also wish it was a little bigger, if you could mark something at 6" (153mm) that would be ideal for me anyway.

The earlier one that was 1/8" thick was aluminum http://www.woodpeck.com/paolini.html

The new one at 1/16" is stainless steel http://www.woodpeck.com/pprss.html

I wonder if manufacturing tools with stainless steel blades is part of a new trend for Woodpecker. This is the third tool with SS blade this year. The other are the Bevel Gauge and the 6SS Carpenters Square.

I'd be happy to see them go this way. The aluminum blades must necessarily be thicker. This means the markings on the blade are further from the wood where you must place the mark which contributes to imprecision and parallax error.

Not sure if I'm breaking any Forum rules here but as a PSA - Woodcraft has a $10 off coupon code for purchases of $25 or more. The code worked for the Paolini Pocket Rule pre-order just in case anyone was on the fence about purchasing one.

Great tip! But what is the code?

Thanks. I was thinking you were talking about the Woodpecker website. Didn't read carefully enough to see the sale is on the Woodcraft site.
