Please mention that the rouler now is metric AND imperial.  (OK, let's say it's item no 27 😉 easy if you know 26 😄 )

OK, I'll play this one.

In a former employment I used to "Ride the light" This tool is often found in the same kit as a "Punch Down Tool" it helps prohibit tampering on certain connections.

I was aslo given an adjustable tool by that company, with a gauge in mm.  We called it "The Metric Cressent Wrench"

Solution for item #26:

It's a string loop nock point pliers used by compound bow archers (my daughter just switched to the dark side 😉 , I'm prefer olympic recurve and longbow)

and item #27 also belongs to archery, it's a so called checker to measure the distance from the handle to the bow string. (OK, any ruler would do the job, but one end is special (not shown in my picture) to measure the nock point position. (The point where you nock in the arrow on the string)

So here ist again only a part of an item. Quite old tool again ....  

Item #28

METRIC RULER in cm!!

Not too far off!  And, I prefer the longbow myself.  Accuracy is skill, ease of reproduction I'll leave to Ben to comment on.

A short bow has advantages if you have a horse.  I don't have experience riding.

well, That is a Sears Garage door opener built by Digital Control!

Or, did you mean the set of HV insulated rings above that?  Can I get an "End-On" view of the tripple ring set?
