Lets see your pocket ruler/scale collection

[Robvulaj]

Over the years of hunting for tools i cant seem to resist grabbing these pocket rulers whenever i see them. Lot of there were probably handed out for free as promotional items from supply houses and machine shops. Some of these are for measuring wire guage, rivets, grind angles, depth, etc. Some read in 64ths some in thousandths or with decimal conversion charts. The more obsure the more i like it. They are all roughly 6" lot of them are flexible. I hope im not the only one to collet these, lets see what you got.

Here are a few. A 6” rule was included in WW2 GMTKs.

Found this ruler. At first I thought it was a broken off piece of a folding rule, but its really an advertisement for Stanley Zig-Zag rules.

I have a handful of rules along these lines, but wouldn't consider myself a collector, just nice to have a 6" ruler ready at hand - on the desk at work, in the shop a few places, in the shop apron at work, narrow flexible ones, wide stiff ones, etc.

I've got only 2 US-made rulers (STARRETT, TIRANT RAZOR V3) and i made one leather sheath for it:

[REVIEW] precision 6″ rule sleeve/sheath/pouch/case/holster build and mod

Inspired by Jer Schmidt's video, i decided to build my own sleeve for storage, protection, transport/carry, or frequent deployment. A simple narrow thin flexible stainless steel good quality rule ( or ruler ) can be had for little money and doesn't need protection, for the more expensive "rigid"...
