ProFix Stainless Steel Rule, 300 mm

What it is for

Two instruments that get confused with each other: the rule is for setting a size or checking a gap, the vernier is for reading a dimension to a hundredth. Both belong on the bench, because the rule is what you reach for first and the vernier is what you use when the rule is not enough.

stainless steel is the material and it is not a detail: a rule that rusts after a year in a damp workshop is a rule you stop using, and the etched scale on a good one stays legible when the surface is worn. Read at eye level to avoid parallax, and never use a vernier as a scribing tool — the jaws are ground to measure, not to mark.

Specification detail

Stainless Steel Rule, 300 mm, in stainless steel, graduated to 1 mm. The vernier version reads outside, inside and depth and carries a locking screw; the rule is etched on both faces with a hanging hole at one end.

• The rule for setting a size, the vernier for reading one to 1 mm
• Etched scale that is still legible after a year in a damp workshop
• Measuring faces that are ground, not stamped — this is not a scribing tool
• stainless steel, so it does not become the tool you stop picking up
