    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.

    Pocket Rulers

    No bigger than a pen, these rulers slip into your pocket for measuring on the go. Clip them to your pocket to keep them from falling out or getting misplaced. The clip doubles as a sliding depth gauge, so you can measure the inside of counterbores and other holes.
    Corrosion-Resistant Stainless Steel

    These rulers won't rust when rinsed, rained on, or wiped down with degreasers or cleaning solutions. They're hardened to prevent dents and scratches, so you can trust they'll last for years to come. Etched and filled with black ink, their graduations won't rub off like printed graduations can.

    For scaled-down drawings on the go, these rulers are no bigger than a pen to slip into your pocket. Sketch everything from roads to buildings to floor plans—they include the standard scales for architects or engineers. All have beveled edges, so you can be confident your lines will be accurate and consistent no matter what angle you view the ruler from.

    Measure distance, level objects, and draft circles with one tool. A jack of all trades, these tape measures include a vial level and a compass for drawing circles up to 20 ft. in diameter. You don’t have to crimp the blade to measure inside drawers and other objects—a top window shows the length from the tip of the blade to the back of the case.

    For quick diameter measurements on the go, these tape measures are as small as a pack of gum to tuck into your pocket. There's no math involved—just wrap the blade around your cable, pipe, or other cylindrical object. The number that overlaps with zero is your diameter. These tape measures are ideal for already mounted objects since you don't need to take your system apart. Also known as tree tapes.
    Automatic Blade Return—The blade zips back into the case when you let go.
    Nonlocking Blade Lock—Pull the blade out and hold it in place between your fingers. These free-moving tape measures are best for taking frequent, small measurements.
    Chrome-Plated Metal Case—Choose metal cases for your toughest industrial jobs, from construction to machining. These cases resist breaking due to hard hits and drops. However, they're heavier to carry around than plastic cases.

    Compact Dial Lever Variance Indicators

    A slim design lets you measure in tight spots. Also known as test indicators, these variance indicators have a lever-style contact point that pivots as it touches a surface. They also have a balanced dial with positive values on one side and negative values on the other. This makes them great for measuring if a part is above or below a certain tolerance. All have jeweled bearings for high sensitivity, wear resistance, and a long service life.
