The cheapest architecture scales are made of white plastic with red, blue, and green stripes running down the middle. Graphite and ink from pencils and pens will permanently stain them and they can look dirty and ugly in a matter of days. The white plastic edges are prone to chipping and worst of all, the measurement guidelines can wear off and leave the tool useless for its purpose.


This scale is well worth the additional pennies. Made of aluminum, it's lightweight, durable, and doesn't collect graphite and ink like plastic does. The markings are laser-etched for maximum precision, and it comes in a sleek metallic black color that will hold its beauty for many years to come.


Best of all, they have all the common types of scales and you mix and match which ones you want to buy. For architecture students, we recommend the "Architect & Engineer" set. The Architect Scale's importance is without question. The engineer scale is used less often, but always saves the day on that one drawing you didn't think you'd need it for.


You will thank yourself later for this, trust us on this one.
