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.
