General 305ME Flexible Steel Ruler 6 in 16th Graduations

Product Description

The GENERAL 305ME is a 6-inch flexible steel ruler designed for precision layout and measurement work in the field or shop. Its flexibility allows it to conform to contoured or irregular surfaces where a rigid rule would give inaccurate readings. Graduated in 16th-inch increments, it provides fine resolution suitable for detailed mechanical, HVAC, plumbing, and electrical layout tasks. The compact 6-inch length makes it easy to carry in a tool pouch or apron pocket. At 0.03 pounds, it adds virtually no weight to a technician's kit. Steel construction holds up to daily jobsite use without warping or corrosion under normal conditions.

This ruler is well suited for trade professionals who need a small, accurate measuring tool for close-quarters work. Common applications include checking clearances, marking cut lines on conduit or tubing, verifying fitting dimensions, and general layout on equipment panels. Its flexible design is particularly useful when measuring along curved pipe surfaces or inside tight enclosures where a rigid rule cannot lay flat.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Store in a dry location to prevent surface oxidation over time. Avoid bending beyond the natural flex range of the steel, as repeated sharp bending can create stress fractures along the blade. Clean with a dry cloth after use in environments with moisture, flux, or cutting oils.
