General CF1249MD Steel Rule 12 in Decimal Metric Flexible

Product Description

The GENERAL CF1249MD is a flexible steel rule designed for precision layout and measurement work in trade and industrial settings. Measuring 12 inches in overall length and 1/2 inch in overall width, this rule features both decimal and metric graduations on a satin chrome-plated steel body. The flexible construction allows the rule to conform to curved or irregular surfaces, making it useful in tight or contoured work areas. Graduations run 10 inches along the rule body. The satin chrome finish reduces glare for easier reading in bright shop and field environments.

This rule is suited for use by machinists, pipefitters, plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and other trade professionals who require accurate linear measurement in layout and fabrication tasks. Its compact 12-inch length and flexible body make it practical for bench work, in-panel measurement, and fieldwork alike. The dual decimal and metric graduation style supports work across both standard and metric specifications without switching tools.
