Rulers
Available53 products
Rulers provide a graduated scale to measure the length of small objects and surfaces. Also known as rules, they take measurements in applications that don't require the extended range of tape measures.
Graduation Marks
Steel Rulers
Steel rulers are strong and hefty to maintain straightness and prevent distortion of the scale. They are best suited for dry environments where they won't rust. These rulers make length measurements and also work as straight edges to draw and check straight lines.

Stainless Steel Rulers
Stainless steel rulers withstand exposure to water, humidity, and other harsh conditions that could cause steel rulers to rust and wood rulers to decay. They are more corrosion resistant, stronger, and heftier than aluminum to maintain straightness and prevent distortion of the scale. These rulers make length measurements and also work as straight edges to draw and check straight lines.

Aluminum Rulers
Aluminum rulers are more corrosion resistant than steel and generally lighter but less rigid than other metal rulers. They make length measurements and also work as straight edges to draw and check straight lines.

Wood Rulers
Wood rulers are generally lighter and less likely to damage surfaces than metal rulers, and they are more durable than plastic rulers to resist wear and maintain straightness. They are best suited for dry environments where they won't warp or decay. These rulers make length measurements and also work as straight edges to draw and check straight lines.

Plastic Rulers
Plastic rulers are lightweight, waterproof, and won't mar delicate surfaces. They make length measurements and also work as straight edges to draw and check straight lines.

Folding Rulers
Folding rulers consist of multiple blades that fold out on hinges to measure greater lengths than single-blade rulers. Also known as zigzag or mason's folding rulers, they fold their blades back in to a more compact size for storage and transport. They also work as straight edges to draw and check straight lines. Positioning the blades at angles allows marking right angles, drawing parallel lines, and sighting buildings and structures to gauge their angles.

Architect's Triangular Scales
Architect's triangular scales allow reading and drafting architectural and engineering blueprints, plans, and drawings. Also known as architect's rules, they have three blades with different scales to make, read, and convert dimensional and distance measurements. They also work as straight edges to draw and check straight lines.
