One thing I use a lot and am very fussy about is rulers. I prefer stainless - virtually all of my rules are stainless and have a pathological hatred for corked backed rules. I have had great success with GEI International https://www.geionline.com/stainless-steel-rulers (https://www.geionline.com/stainless-steel-rulers)
They have rules and other measuring tools. Despite the banner at the top of their page not all of their products are USA made. I'm a little fussy about that so I check carefully.
