Centuri ruler 1/10 inch
 
2 Attachment(s)
I've been looking for a metal ruler with 1/10 inch divisions, but I couldn't seem to find any locally. I visited an office supply store today, hoping to find one in the drafting ruler section. Unfortunately, the store recently revised its layout, and now has considerably fewer (maybe a third?) of the products it used to carry. :mad:

Then a little voice reminded me that I needed to track down the beauty below. ;)

Turns out I've had a 1/10" ruler for almost 50 years, and I didn't remember that until today. :D

I wish I would have gotten one of those back in the day. I’d really like to have that five piece tool kit in vinyl pouch with the Centuri logo on the fron that they used to sell. I’ve been keeping an eye out for one for years, but have never seen one.

Way nicer than my plastic Staedtler engineer's scale. :cool:

That Centuri ruler is very nice! Probably more rare than hens teeth😂

This might work someone that needs one though...

When I began to work for Enertek my boss, Bill Stine, gave me one of the Centuri rulers as a welcoming gift.

I still have it. :)

Slick! :cool:
Can't believe I'm geeking out over a ruler. :chuckle:

Hobby Lobby sells 6" and 12" plastic rulers with 0.1" increments, but sadly no metal ones that I have ever seen.
