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.
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.
Extra-Flexible Plastic
![]() |
These rulers are flexible enough to conform to curved surfaces without snapping.

Diameter-Measuring Tape Measures
Wrap around duct, pipe, and other cylindrical objects to find their diameter without complex calculations. These tape measures are ideal for already mounted objects since you don't need to take your system apart. Also known as tree tapes.
Standard Scale
![]() |
Take math out of the equation completely. After wrapping the blade around an object, find the number that overlaps with zero—that's your diameter.
Manual Blade Return Type—Guide the blade back by hand or using the wheel on the side of the case.
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.
Coated Steel Blade—A coating on the blade prevents the graduations from wearing or scratching off.
Chrome-Plated Steel Blade—Our most durable blades. The hard chrome plating guards them from scratches, wear, and rust.
