Pocket Tape Measures
Compared to standard tape measures, these are less than half the size. They have an impact-resistant plastic case. The blade is coated or painted to resist scratches, wear, and corrosion.
Manual-lock tape measures hold the blade in place after you slide the lock.

High-Accuracy Rulers
An economical alternative to Starrett High-Accuracy Rulers, these provide reliable, repeatable measurements. All meet Fed. Spec. GGG-R-791H, which establishes uniform standards for ruler accuracy, graduations, and size. They're also known as machinists' rules. They have a corrosion-resistant satin chrome-plated finish that reduces glare and wear-resistant etched markings. Inch and inch/metric rulers are labeled with numeric increments that are less than 1" for quick reading.
