The Authentic Pocket Engineer - Small Metal Engineering Ruler Protractor Compass Scale, Techie Graduation Gadget Multitool, Mechanical/Civil Engineers Gift, Metric Mini 3 Inch Tool- Genius Lab Gear

This basic low-tech gadget has been great for me with the tasks I've needed it for: most-routinely taking small measurements of 3" or less, as an alternative to keeping a bulky tape measure on my belt (or in my pocket), causing my pants to 'droop' and/or my shirt to become untucked. The square corners are of course functional for measuring purposes, but are a risk of pocket-wear, depening on how one stores it. I use my wallet, or keep it in a small stack of other things, in my shirt pocket.I keep it in the included cardboard sleeve, and also in the included inner, clear-plastic sleeve. This is a bit 'fussy' trying to keep track of both the cardboard sleeve and the plastic sleeve, and trying to keep them 'nice'... in my routine tasks, I routinely have dealt with oil-covered metal, so gets a bit messy/problematic, especially when trying to put the card back in all the sleeves, lol.It would be a useful improvement, to have a single, durable plastic sleeve,of course only very slightly larger than the 'measuring-card' itself,i.e. with rounded corners, to improve 'stowability'Either way I like it and it has saved me the trouble of having to carry around a much bulkier tape measure.

very nice quality

This is a nice gadget to have in your wallet. It's about the size of a credit card/license, made out of stainless (I think) and comes in a cardboard sleeve. It's ruled along two long edges in inches and centimeters, with a protractor along one of the shorter edges and conversion factors in the body of the card. The other side has a bunch of constants and formulae. Very useful!

bought this for my boyfriend working on his engineering degree. he says he uses it daily. perfect suze to go in a wallet

Purchased as a graduation gift for a young man going for an engineering degree. I had no idea what to get him and by the description this sounded like it might be useful. It arrived with a seal over the sleeve of the card and I didn't want to break the seal to see what it looked like. It should fit nicely in a wallet since it is credit card sized and does not seem to be flimsy materials.

Bought for an engineer as a gift. Grok recommended when I asked for advice. He's really happy with it!

This for my twin grandsons who are in college for engineering degrees. They really liked him and said they’ve come in very handy. I think it was a good little gift for the price.

A useful tool for my mechanical engineer.
