General CF616-I Flexible Steel Rule 6 Inches 5R

Product Description

The GENERAL CF616-I is a flexible stainless steel rule measuring 6 inches in overall length and 15/32 inches in overall width. Finished in satin chrome plating, it offers clear horizontal scale readability under typical job-site lighting. The 5R graduation style provides three scales in one: 1/100, 1/32, and 1/64 inch increments, giving technicians and tradespeople the resolution they need for layout, inspection, and measurement tasks. The non-magnetic, non-hooked design keeps the tool simple and straightforward for hand measurement work across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades.

This rule is suited for close-tolerance layout work in tight spaces where a rigid rule would be impractical. The flexible stainless steel construction allows it to conform to curved or irregular surfaces without permanent deformation. It is appropriate for residential and light commercial service environments where a compact, precise measuring tool is needed alongside standard trade instruments. Technicians who frequently reference fine measurements during fabrication, fitting, or inspection will find the triple-scale 5R format particularly useful.

Key Features

• Flexible stainless steel construction for use on curved or irregular surfaces
• 5R graduation style with 1/100, 1/32, and 1/64 inch scales on a single rule
• Satin chrome finish reduces glare and improves scale visibility
• Horizontal scale orientation for consistent left-to-right reading
• Compact 6-inch length suits confined spaces and small-part measurement
• Non-magnetic and hook-free design for straightforward hand use

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose flexible steel rule suitable for measurement and layout tasks across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and mechanical trade applications.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Store the rule flat or rolled loosely to preserve the flexible temper of the stainless steel. Avoid bending beyond the natural flex range, which can cause permanent kinking. Clean the scale face with a dry cloth to maintain graduation legibility over time.
