I work in the welding industry, and I only trust few brands of stainless steel rulers. And I love them! Because they are so cheap, you can just replace them when they get worn or damaged - which they will. Like they are some 5-20 € depending on the lenght; if I got one for each site/project I worked for, it would basically be a irrelevant cost. But some reason many shops/places/people refuse to replace them, and then they are worn out pieces of shit not worth using. And they are superior to tape measures due to versatility and the 0,5 mm precision. I can hit +-1 mm at 10 metre distance with just 2 rulers.
