What's the problem with a 0-10 mm ruler? I would clip that onto a keychain and use it to check gaps and alignments. In fact, I may steal this design and start 3D printing them for profit.

OH, its already been done!

And in the spirit of the Uncomfortable Ruler, this has the same frustrating design flaw: the scale doesn't start in the corner so you can't butt it up against something and use it like a depth gauge!
