The status of tariffs on goods shipping to the US does change regularly, and if you are one of our US customers, we hope that the following summary information helps to answer most of your questions:
We appreciate that import tariffs for certain slide rule and equipment brands can be prohibitive, where possible we try and offer a discount to ease the pain of those tariffs. Specific brands that have little or no import duties are Pickett and K&E, as they were both manufactured in the US.
A fresh batch of slide rules have been added to the site, including two very rare, mint condition Pickett box sets! Head over to the Recently Added page for more information.
There’s nothing quite like putting pen or pencil to paper, particularly when it is done with the enhanced precision of quality drafting tools.
For the month of March, we will be offering a 25% discount on all drafting tools over $25.
February, that month with the incongruently dissatisfying number of days, but known for its romance brings us the most delightful of discounts.
During the month of February, all non-US made slide rules with a base price above $25, will receive a 15% discount at checkout. Nothing says romance quite like elaborate mathematical tools, which we’re told are great for facilitating multiplication(to say nothing of the elaborate angles and functions they can handle…).
Many years ago, internationally acclaimed found-object artist Leo Sewell, used a collection of slide rules to make a unique slide rule cityscape. We recently uncovered a photo of the piece in a stack of old documents, and we are happy to share this piece of art with you here:
