Extremely practical and elegant design. The ruler is useful as a ruler and I end up using the caliper function at least once a day. The precise manufacturing is a joy to hold in hand and the fact that the ruler is 8 inches instead of typical 6, makes it all the more practical.

If I was only allowed to keep on Craighill item, this would be it.

While I can't call myself a connoisseur of rulers, I can call myself picky. If there's something living on my desk that doesn't sit quite right with me, my brain is going to let me know. So I'm pleased to report that I've been living in harmony with the metrolog ruler for some time now. The caliper-like design certainly ups its utility as compared to the average ruler. In hand it feels substantial, but not imposing or cumbersome. All things considered, it's a relatively simple tool/object, and it doesn't feature any pyrotechnics – but it beats any number of thin, flat rulers I could be struggling to pry from a surface. TL;DR: Looks good, does its job. Point on the board for Craighill.

Although not in their final place (I have some internal building to do!) they a beautiful objects, as all Craighill items.

Original, yet useful once you have tried it.
