The PRULE

Rulers rarely get much design attention, but The PRULE treats one as a piece of everyday carry. The maker describes it as a high-function ruler built from Gr5 titanium and designed to fold down for the pocket, aimed at engineers, designers and DIY enthusiasts.

Titanium and a folding frame

The material is the headline. According to the maker, Gr5 titanium keeps the tool light while making it durable and resistant to corrosion, so it should hold up over long-term use. The folding design is intended to make it easy to carry day to day, and the maker says the body is produced with precision CNC machining for accuracy and build quality.

More than a straight edge

The campaign positions The PRULE as several tools consolidated into one. The maker lists the following functions:

• Dual scale with both metric and inch markings
• Protractor function for measuring angles
• Built-in mini blade usable as a craft knife for detail work and light cutting
• Smooth edges and an ergonomic shape intended for comfortable handling

The styling is described as modern and minimal, with the maker framing the design as a balance of utility and appearance. The campaign also refers to a modular design that could let users adapt the tool to their own needs, though it does not detail what that modularity involves.

The PRULE was presented as a Kickstarter project, and its maker pitches it as a tool that could appeal to both professionals and hobbyists who want measuring and light cutting tasks covered by a single piece of titanium.
