What is it?
A cutting-edge measuring tool and smart ruler.
Good points?
Its main feature is the effortless unit conversion, allowing users to switch between metric, imperial, and fractions with a simple swipe.
The inclusion of a smart scale sets the NeoRuler apart, enabling users to define customised scales for on-the-fly measurements.
A space divider function further enhances efficiency, facilitating quick single or multi-divisions of a length.
The Meazor mobile app helps create detailed plans and models based on your measurements. The app also supports a variety of file types, including JPG, XLS, PDF and DXF for CAD applications. A 2D to 3D photo mode is impressive by displaying measurements of an object in an image.
Its design is not only aesthetically pleasing with a 2.89 centimetres (1.14-inch) backlit, true-colour LCD display, but also durable, featuring a robust aluminium chassis with a stainless-steel blade.

Its measurement accuracy of plus or minus 0.1mm ensures reliable and precise results. The 1,000 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides ample power for extended use.
The NeoRuler's performance is driven by an ARM Cortex-M4 processor and a 4,096-grade magnetic encoder. A dynamic array of 300 LED lights highlights exact measurements, enhancing visibility.
Its modular design allows users to attach various accessory kits, including a reading kit with a magnifying glass, a drafting kit for precise marking and a calliper kit for measuring physical objects.
Bad points?
The calliper kit takes quite a bit of adjusting to get the resistance correct but not a huge gripe.
Best for ...
Designers and engineers who rely on precise measurements to complete projects.
Avoid if ...
You regularly work with larger materials longer than 45cm (18in).
Score: 9/10.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
