Auto Silicone Hoses

Stainless Steel Metal Ruler 30cm/12"

30cm / 12 Inch Stainless Steel Flexible

What is it for?

Measuring and marking out, and as a straight edge to cut against. In a workshop it earns its place mostly as the straight edge - a blade run against steel goes where you put it, and against plastic it does not.

What size is it?

30cm / 12 inches, marked in both metric and imperial with fine-etched graduations, and with a metric to imperial conversion table on the back.

Why stainless rather than plastic?

Because printed markings on a plastic rule wear off with oil and solvent contact within months, and plastic makes a poor cutting edge. The etched stainless markings stay readable, and the corrosion-resistant finish survives a damp bench.

Is it rigid or flexible?

It flexes without taking a set, so it will follow a curved surface for marking out and spring back straight. It is stiff enough to cut against when laid flat.

Can I use it to measure hose diameters?

Use it for lengths and runs. For a diameter that has to seal on a pipe, use vernier callipers - you cannot read a curved surface accurately enough with a rule, and a millimetre matters on a hose joint.

Will the markings wear off?

They are etched rather than printed, and the surface is treated for wear resistance, so normal workshop handling, oil and solvent will not take them off.

30cm Steel Rule

**** as a free gift along with another purchase. Probably not the most substantial rule that I have owned but the markings are clear and sharp. I use it quite a bit so I would recommend it for bench work but probably not for outdoor work.

Very good quality hose at a good price. Delivered on time. The stainless rule added in for free was a good touch.
