General CF1245 Flexible Steel Rule 12 in 5R Graduation

Product Description

The GENERAL CF1245 is a flexible steel rule designed for precise linear measurement in trade and shop environments. The rule measures 12 inches overall length with a 1/2 inch overall width and features 5R graduation markings at 1/100, 1/32, and 1/64 inch increments. The satin chrome-plated finish reduces glare during use. Fabricators, pipefitters, machinists, and HVAC technicians use this type of rule for layout work, checking inside dimensions, and marking cut lines on sheet metal or pipe. Flexibility allows the blade to conform to curved surfaces without permanent deformation.

This rule fits standard layout and measurement tasks in residential and commercial trade work. It is well suited for sheet metal shops, mechanical rooms, and field service work where a rigid rule would be difficult to position. The 5R graduation style provides four measuring edges, making it a versatile option for technicians who need multiple increment choices from a single tool. No hook attachment is included.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measuring tool. Store flat or rolled to prevent permanent set in the blade. Clean with a dry cloth after use in wet or oily environments to protect the chrome-plated finish. Handle edges with care, as rule graduations can wear with abrasive contact over time.
