I found this ruler style in metric and absolutely loved the color band, the quality and the weight.  I reached out to the manufacturer and had them do this aluminum ruler in inches for me.  This is laser engraved and absolutely perfect in everyway.  All the scales are extremely accurate.  The bands are rubberized and add an element like no other.  Easy to grip and move around.  This has all the standard architectural and engineer scales.  This is perfect gift for any engineer, architect, superintendent or many construction workers who scale plans.  Could not have a nicer gift for someone attending engineering school!
