John, most any hardware store, including the big box home improvement centers.

Re: 6in steel pocket ruler
I have one of these in my pocket a lot of times. Very well made. Not really as handy to pull out and use as a one piece six inch ruler. But a lot easier to have with me.

Re: 6in steel pocket ruler
Mel, where is that made? Is there a country of origin on it anywhere? I saw one very similar on eBay but couldn't bring myself to get it.

Re: 6in steel pocket ruler
Jerry - it is made in Japan. I recently saw one on Ebay that looked identical except for the name - don't remember whose name was on that one. I try to keep one with me for measuring flowers and leaves on wild plants.jerryd6818 wrote:Mel, where is that made? Is there a country of origin on it anywhere?

Re: 6in steel pocket ruler
I can do Japan but the one I saw on eBay was made on the Pacific Rim Mainland. No thanks. The Garrett Wade is $25 not counting shipping. I may be able to swallow that.

Re: 6in steel pocket ruler
There were some fine English made folding pocket rulers with knife blade, but I cannot recall the name at the moment. They were advertising/give-away items.

I assume this is China but truly a multi tool that might work.
