A ruler can measure something but a stick cannot.
A metre stick is a ruler that is 1 metre long. (A little bit more than 3 feet.)
a ruler is shoter than a meter stick ~ A typical ruler is 12 inches, however, there are many other measuring devices also called rulers. A meter stick is around 3 yards, I believe.

There's the meter stick which measures in metric rather than standard (imperial).
"Shake a stick at" is an idiom meaning "to form a conception of (as by counting or imagining)". So, "more than you can shake a stick at" means "more than you can count/imagine".

An angle ruler is a tool used to measuring angles like a protractor. An angle ruler is more accurate than a protractor.
A yard stick is divided into 3 feet, which are divided into 12 inches each which are again divided into 1/8" segments each(usually). A yard stick is used for measuring the length of an object the same way a ruler might be used. Often this would be used for an object more than 1 foot but less than 3 feet in length.
A meter stick is longer than a ruler. This allows larger items to be measured with less movement of the measuring tool.
No, a pogo stick is more of an avtivity than a toy. :)
