Tork Craft Aluminium Protective Ruler 600mm/24"
At a Glance: 600mm/24" aluminium protective ruler for measuring, marking and guiding cutting tools along straight lines
The Tork Craft ME02260 aluminium protective ruler is a practical measuring and cutting guide for workshop, craft, installation and general DIY applications. Its 600mm or 24" length provides a useful working range for marking and measuring sheet materials, boards, paper, cardboard and other compatible workpieces. The aluminium construction offers a rigid straight edge, while the protective profile helps keep the user's fingers positioned away from the cutting path when the ruler is used as a guide.
