Product Information
Full details
The Power-TEC Magnetic Ruler (605mm) is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing precise measurements on curved or flat steel surfaces. Its key benefit is enabling hands-free operation, increasing accuracy and efficiency. A caveat to consider is its magnetic nature, limiting its use to ferrous materials. This flexible ruler features both metric and inch scales, and includes a radian for measuring arc lengths to their radius, making it a versatile tool for various fabrication and repair tasks.

FAQs
What is the primary advantage of this magnetic ruler?
The primary advantage is its ability to adhere magnetically to steel surfaces, enabling hands-free measuring and marking, which improves accuracy and efficiency.
Can this ruler be used on aluminum surfaces?
No, this ruler is magnetic and will only adhere to ferrous metal surfaces like steel. It will not work on aluminum or other non-magnetic materials.
What is the radian function for?
The radian function is used for measuring the length of an arc relative to its radius, a specialized measurement useful in fabrication and engineering.
How flexible is the ruler?
The ruler is designed to be flexible enough to conform to moderately curved steel surfaces while maintaining its accuracy.
What are the available units of measurement?
The ruler features both metric (millimeters) and imperial (inches) scales.
How should I clean and maintain the ruler?
Wipe it with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid harsh cleaners. Store it flat or loosely rolled in a dry place.
What is the total length of the ruler?
The ruler measures 605mm in length.
Troubleshooting
Ruler not adhering to surface
Ensure the steel surface is clean, dry, and free from rust, paint, or debris. Verify the ruler's magnetic strips are also clean. Check that the surface is indeed steel (ferrous).
Inaccurate measurements on curved surfaces
Ensure the ruler is laid flat against the curve without any kinks or lifting. For very complex curves, consider using a flexible measuring tape as a comparison.
Markings are difficult to read
Clean the ruler surface with a damp cloth. Ensure adequate lighting in your work area.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Hands-free operation enhances accuracy and safety.
- Adaptable to both flat and curved steel surfaces.
- Dual metric and imperial scales cater to different standards.
- Integrated radian measurement adds specialized functionality.
- Generous 605mm length covers most common tasks.
Cons
- Limited to ferrous (steel) surfaces due to magnetic attachment.
- Flexibility may lead to slight inaccuracies on extremely irregular surfaces if not carefully applied.
- Radian function requires understanding of geometric principles.
- Not suitable for non-magnetic materials.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: No setup is required. Simply place the magnetic ruler onto a clean, dry steel surface. Ensure the surface is free of debris that could interfere with magnetic adhesion.
Compatibility: This ruler is designed for use on ferrous metal surfaces (e.g., steel). It is not compatible with aluminum, plastic, wood, or other non-magnetic materials.
Care:
- Cleaning: Wipe the ruler clean with a soft, damp cloth after each use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which can damage the markings.
- Storage: Store the ruler flat or rolled loosely (if its flexibility allows without creasing) in a dry place to maintain its shape and magnetic strength. Avoid storing it directly against sensitive electronic equipment due to its magnetism.
- Magnetic Surface: Periodically check the magnetic strips for any debris or damage that could affect adhesion.
