I have a good assortment of the shorter Starrett stuff in useful aircraft scales (5R grad) and C305 config, as well as a 36" rigid rule that is fine for precision flat layout, but heavy enough to be a bother for aircraft work. When I went looking for bargains on NIB or lightly used/company-branded Starrett or B&S in flex rule 36" or 48". the cupboard was bare. PEC can be OK or very good, depending on who they are making a tool for, but the blemished (aka blem) 36" flex and the 48" rigid (really just a slightly stiffer/marginally wider) PEC stuff on eBay from Taylor Toolworks runs $30 and $50 respectively, and I could not find any reason for the blem beyond a lack of a logo. Crisp marking and carefully shipped.
