Product Information

Full details

This Faithfull 1000mm steel rule is designed for professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require precise measurements for woodworking, metalworking, or general construction tasks. Its key benefit is the durable, flexible stainless steel construction with permanently etched, clear metric and imperial graduations for versatility. A minor caveat is its 1-meter length, which may be less convenient for very compact spaces.

FAQs

What are the exact markings on the rule?

The rule is graduated in 16ths, 32nds, and 64ths of an inch on one side, and 0.5mm and 1mm on the other side.

Is the rule suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the stainless steel construction makes it resistant to rust and corrosion, suitable for various conditions. However, prolonged exposure to harsh elements is not recommended.

Can the markings be erased?

The markings are permanently etched, making them highly resistant to wear and erasure under normal use.

What are the dimensions of the rule?

The rule measures 1000mm (1 meter) in length, 30mm in width, and 1.05mm in thickness.

Does it measure in decimal inches?

No, the imperial side is graduated in fractions of an inch (16ths, 32nds, and 64ths).

How should I store this rule?

It is best stored flat or hung by the integrated hole to maintain its shape and prevent damage to the markings.

Troubleshooting

Markings are difficult to read.

Ensure the rule is clean and well-lit. Wipe with a damp cloth if dust or debris is obscuring the markings. For very fine markings, use a magnifying glass if needed.

Rule appears bent or kinked.

Gently try to straighten the rule on a flat surface. Avoid forcing it, as repeated or severe bending can cause permanent deformation or damage to the markings.

Conversion tables are unclear.

Clean the area with a damp cloth. If the etching is worn, it may indicate significant wear and tear. Consider using a separate conversion chart or app for critical measurements.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Precise and clear etched markings in both metric and imperial units.
  • Durable and flexible stainless steel construction ensures a long lifespan.
  • Includes useful conversion tables for quick reference.
  • Easy to store with a built-in hanging hole.

Cons

  • The 1-meter length may be cumbersome for very small tasks or tight spaces.
  • Imperial markings are in fractions of an inch, not decimal inches.
  • No protective sleeve included.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This is a passive measuring tool and requires no setup beyond removing it from its packaging. Ensure it is clean before first use.

Compatibility: The rule is compatible with all standard measuring and marking tasks. It functions independently and does not require any electronic or mechanical integration.

Care:

  • Clean the rule with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, which could damage the etched markings.
  • Store the rule flat or hang it by the integrated hole to prevent kinking or damage.
  • Keep away from strong magnetic fields, although stainless steel is generally non-magnetic.
  • Inspect regularly for any signs of damage to the markings or the rule itself.
