We love Shinwa's range of pick-up rulers for many reasons - let us count the ways!

They are really easy to read. Shinwa applies a proprietary hard chrome finish that leaves a beautiful matte surface. It does not reflect light harshly, making them easy under the eyes even when working under harsh directional light.

The makings are incredibly clear. These rulers feature full-millimetre increments only, and have no half-millimetre markings. We find it much easier and quicker to mark out with them, as we don't have to decipher our preferred measurement from a packed crowd of half-millimetre marks.

Picking them up is incredibly easy. The end of every ruler has a small notch that can either be pushed down on to lever the ruler off the bench, or got under with a fingernail to pick it up directly.
