Meanwhile, the Curve Ruler offers a protractor, circles ranging from 1mm to 4.5mm, and 5mm to 15mm circles, and even markings for 12- and 24-hour watch designs.
Finally, the Polygon Ruler includes a protractor and templates for three to 20-sided polygons, lines, and straightedges.
Portability is key with the Hexagonal Ruler. Its ultraslim design allows users to slip it effortlessly into their pockets, while ensuring that they can create the most precise of drawings whenever a eureka moment hits.

The Hexagonal Ruler first hit the market in 2017 and quickly gained a devoted following. In its latest iteration, version 2.5, the tool’s creators are showing their appreciation to users by introducing two new finishes.
For traditionalists, there’s the classic brass variant, made to age elegantly over time. There’s also a stainless steel finish for those who prefer their stuff in mint condition; this one retains its pristine look after many uses.
