    About High-Quality Rulers

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

    Measurement Scale Type

    Adhesive-Back Rulers

    Free up your hands when measuring length over and over—no more lining up rulers or tape measures. These rulers stick to everything from toolboxes to lathe beds for a permanent measuring guide.

    Half-Measure Adhesive-Back Rulers

    Take division out of the equation when building half-scale models and prototypes. The distance between the graduations on these rulers is half the printed measurement—just use your object's true dimensions to get a model half its size. Stick these rulers to your bench top for a permanent, hands-free measuring guide.
