    About High-Quality Rulers
    industrial info icon

    What separates a throwaway ruler from one you’ll keep for decades, which type is best for everyday use, and how to compare materials.

    Adhesive-Back Vertical Rulers

    For repeated height and depth measurements, stick these rulers to walls, tanks, and other vertical surfaces. Their numbers are printed from bottom to top or top to bottom, so you don't have to tilt your head to read them. Since these rulers permanently adhere to surfaces, they free up your hands as you work—no more lining up rulers or tape measures.

    These rulers are flexible enough to conform to curved surfaces without snapping.

    Rigid Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel
    Image of Product. Front orientation. ZoomedIn view. Rulers. Adhesive-Back Vertical Rulers.
    Our most durable adhesive-back rulers. These rulers keep their shape and resist scrapes and scratches even if bumped with tools and machinery. Stick them to flat surfaces, such as bench tops.
    Made of stainless steel, these rulers won't rust when splashed with water or wiped down with degreasers or cleaning solutions. Their graduations are etched and blackened with ink, so they won't rub off like printed graduations can.
