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.
Rulers
Your go-to rulers for everyday measuring. Whether metal for durability or wood for a classic feel, our rulers measure up to most tasks, from woodwork to textiles to rough machining.
Lightweight Aluminum
![]() |
Our economical option. These rulers are about as lightweight as plastic rulers, so they're convenient to carry from site to site. Although light, they're not flimsy—they resist snapping if knocked around in your toolbox. Plus, they'll keep their bright finish if frequently rinsed.
Length—For easy handling and storage, 4 meter rulers come in two pieces that line up to create a complete ruler.

Folding Rulers
Combine the rigidity of a ruler with the portability of a tape measure. A favorite among carpenters, these rulers stay straight even when extended up to 6 ft., then fold up to the length of a phone to tuck into your tool belt. Bend them at their joints to draw angles and measure corners.
Wood
![]() |
For those who prefer the warm look and feel of wood, these rulers are a classic choice. Just be sure to keep them dry, since moisture can cause them to warp and crack. To keep them turning smoothly, their joints are brass plated to guard against wear and rust. Brass caps cover their ends, so they won’t splinter.
