For consumers looking for function and form, the Re-Ruler from Ant Design offers the best of both worlds. The multifunctional ruler is made up of five parts. Two ruler parts with a sliding compass component are attached to two semicircular end caps which also fit together to form a mini angle ruler. This modular design allows the Re-Ruler to be deployed in four different modes—Parallel, Corner, Tilted, and Double—to ensure that the user's needs are covered from every angle.
The Re-Ruler is made with high-quality materials like machined aerospace-grade aluminum. The high contrast markings are laser engraved, ensuring that the ruler is both durable and legible. The Re-Ruler's back comes equipped with magnets which make the tool easy to store on and access from any metal surface. The Re-Ruler comes in three colors: black, blue, and silver.
