Is this ruler suitable for outdoor site use?

Troubleshooting
Graduations become hard to read due to debris
Use a soft brush or a cloth dampened with a mild degreaser to clean the etched grooves.
Ruler edge has a small nick or burr
Use a fine-grit honing stone to gently deburr the metal edge until it is smooth again.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No assembly is required for this measuring tool. To maintain the accuracy and readability of your AB Tools ruler:
- Cleaning: Wipe down with a clean, dry cloth after use to remove grease, oil, or metal shavings.
- Storage: Store in a flat, dry environment, such as a drawer or tool roll, to prevent the edges from nicking or deforming.
- Chemical Exposure: While stainless steel is durable, avoid exposing the ruler to strong acidic chemicals that may degrade the black-filled etchings over extended periods.
- Handling: Avoid using the ruler as a prying tool, as this may bend the steel and negatively impact the accuracy of the straight edge.
