Questions Measuring sticks?

I've been using my Broken Egg Grymkin warsticks for some time now, but this Necrofactorium player is on the lookout for a set of measuring sticks which go beyond 10" and which have the numbers printed on all of them, including widgets (with combinations of inches, like 1", 2" and 3"). I've seen several sets on YouTube videos, often with a board that holds all of them, but I can't seem to find these online in non- Etsy fashion (except for Tree of Tales).

Does anyone have tips, preferably European solutions? I'd love to hear!

Do folks not use tape measures anymore? That was like the biggest commodity to have!

Tape measures are great but kinda annoying when you want to be precise. Leaving a model just outside shooting/charge range or trying to position something to engage multiple models at a time.

for "real exact measuring" having a known length stick that either does or does not fit between the bases will always be closer to x.000 inches then any amount of finagling even a real thin tape measure will ever be...

Now is there a real difference that matters between 5.978, 6.000, and 6.024 for games that arent the WTC finals? that depends on who's playing i guess, i've certainly won and lost games on a 1/16th before...

Monstrous makings perhaps? They have a ton of peripherals for Warmachine.

Just bought some on Etsy because of broken egg bad reviews. Cheap and simple.

Bambu Labs has a bunch of widgets available for printing, mostly geared toward 40k distances but a few for other systems.

I use a set of I got from an Etsy Shop called RollforPriority. I can't speak highly enough about them. A set of sticks up to 14, two widgets, some proxies and a wall, it's fantastic. Spendy, but fantastic.

There is an Aussie company https://www.moralvictory.com.au/ that I have a set from and its phenomenal, cannot recommend enough!

Edit: Didn't see you were in Europe not sure how shipping would be but worth reaching out.

I’m still using my old MK2 spray templates and measuring widgets.
