Certified Corrosion-Resistant
Stainless Steel Rulers

A calibration certificate traceable to NIST with test measurements that confirm accuracy is included with these stainless steel rulers.

Lightweight Aluminum Rulers

Made of aluminum, these rulers are an economical alternative to stainless steel rulers.

Certified Lightweight Aluminum Rulers

Ensure accurate measurements with these certified rulers.

Easy-to-Read High-Contrast Rulers

Numbers and graduations etched in light colors are easy to see on a black background.

Easy-to-Read Rulers
with Bold Markings

Rulers have large numbers and deeply etched graduations.

Transparent Rulers

Keep your workpiece in view as you measure with these see-through rulers.

Nonslip Rulers

A cork back prevents slipping and protects delicate surfaces.

Wood Rulers

A clear protective coating and brass endcaps add durability to these hard-maple rulers.

Wood Yardsticks

Made of wood with a clear protective coating, this ruler is an economical choice for measuring objects up to three feet long.

High-Accuracy Rulers

An economical alternative to Starrett High-Accuracy Rulers, these provide reliable, repeatable measurements.

Certified High-Accuracy Rulers

These rulers include a certificate of calibration traceable to NIST with test measurements that confirm accuracy.

Starrett High-Accuracy Rulers

Also known as machinists’ rules, these rulers ensure reliable, repeatable measurements.

Starrett Certified
High-Accuracy Rulers

Ensure reliable, repeatable measurements with these rulers.

Starrett High-Accuracy
Rulers with Hook

A reversible, removable hook grabs the edge of an object for easy alignment.

Scratch-Resistant
High-Accuracy Rulers

Protect your ruler from scratches and wear with a TiN (titanium nitride) coating.

Magnetic High-Accuracy Rulers

High-powered magnets hold these rulers in place.

Adhesive-Back Rulers

Permanently mount these rulers to a machine or workbench.

Half-Measure Adhesive-Back Rulers

Use to find diameters and centers.

Pocket Rulers

Rulers are narrow and just 6" long to measure in tight spaces.

Starrett Tapered-End Pocket Rulers

At just 6" long with a tapered end, this ruler fits into tight spots.

Long-Length Rulers

Create a ruler up to 192" long by adding continuous segments.

Folding Rulers

Fold these rulers for convenient storage and transport.

Adhesive-Back Vertical Rulers

Permanently mount these rulers on machines, tanks, and walls to measure heights and depths.

Adhesive-Back Vertical

These extra-thick rulers have a polycarbonate coating that resists wear from traffic and chemicals.

Half-Measure Adhesive-Back
Vertical Rulers

The graduations on these rulers are half the actual length of the object you are measuring.

Long-Length Vertical Rulers

Use to measure heights and tank levels.

Vertical Rulers with Hook

A hook grabs the edge of an object for easy alignment.

Vertical Rulers

Measurements are printed from top to bottom for measuring heights and depths.

Folding Vertical Rulers

Rulers fold for convenient storage and transport.

Center-Finding Rulers

Zero marks the center when these rulers are positioned so the same number touches each side of an object.

Circumference Rulers

Determine the circumference of a circle without calculations.

Printers' Pica Rulers

Rulers are marked with picas for working with type.

Flexible Magnetic-Back Tape Measures

Flexible Magnetic-Back
