Starrett MS2 aluminum 1meter ruler.
I just got this and had to post about it. I appreciate the need for at least one or two precision straight edges and rulers. But often, it’s more important to have one that’s easy to read, starts at 0, is long enough , and is light enough, and has both inches and mm markings, and doesn’t obfuscate with micro tick marks.
This ruler is fantastic for all those reasons. It goes to 1/8” and 1mm. Most times this is fine for me. It’s only an inch wide and aluminum so it’s light.
Even as a straight edge, it’s pretty good.
And it was $9 online.
Had to share.
