Acme United ACM12975 Flexible Plastic Ruler 12 Inches

Product Description

The ACME UNITED CORPORATION ACM12975 is a 12-inch flexible plastic ruler designed for measuring and drafting tasks in office, classroom, and light trade environments. Constructed from durable, transparent plastic in a jewel-colored finish, it provides clear sightlines to the material being measured. One side is graduated in 1/16-inch increments for imperial measurements, and the reverse side displays metric graduations. A built-in pencil groove runs along the edge to guide straight lines without smearing. At 0.062 pounds, it is lightweight enough for everyday carry in a tool bag, binder, or desk drawer.

This ruler is suited for general-purpose layout, drafting, and measuring tasks in office and school settings. It handles straight-line marking, dimension verification, and template work where a rigid metal rule is not required. The flexible construction allows it to conform slightly to curved surfaces for approximate measurements. Professionals who need a quick, portable reference tool for field sketches, cut lists, or material layouts will find it a practical addition to a basic measuring kit.
