Easy-to-Read High-Contrast Rulers
Numbers and graduations etched in light colors are easy to see on a black background. Inch rulers labeled with numeric increments that are less than 1" are quick reading.
Aluminum rulers are lightweight and corrosion resistant.
Stainless steel rulers are more corrosion resistant than aluminum rulers.
Flexible rulers are for measuring slightly curved surfaces.

Quick-Read Tape Measures
Fractions are labeled on the blade every 1/8" for fast reading. The blade is coated to resist scratches, wear, and corrosion. It locks in place. Case is impact-resistant plastic that's brightly colored for high visibility.
Tape measures with a magnetic-hook tip attach to metal surfaces to help vertical and distance measuring. However, the magnetic tip is strong, so it can inadvertently attach to metal and collect small bits of ferrous material that impact measurement accuracy.
