Performance
This ruler doesn’t flex, bend, or mess around. It lays flat, snaps open with intent, and locks into place like a proper tool should. Whether you’re sketching layouts, checking gear mods, or just lining things up right, it gives you precision without plastic nonsense. It’s the kind of piece that makes you wonder why you ever settled for a bendy throwaway in the first place.
