General CF649MD Flexible Steel Rule 6 in Decimal Metric

Product Description

The GENERAL CF649MD is a flexible steel rule designed for precise linear measurement in trade and industrial applications. It measures 6 inches in overall length and 1/2 inch in overall width, with a satin chrome-plated finish that reduces glare and resists corrosion. Graduated in both decimal and metric scales at 1/10-inch increments, it gives technicians quick, accurate readings without conversion guesswork. The flexible construction allows the rule to conform to curved or irregular surfaces, making it practical for layout, inspection, and fitting work across a range of trades.

This rule is suited for HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and machinists who need a compact, reliable measuring tool on the job. Its 6-inch length makes it easy to carry in a tool pouch or shirt pocket. The decimal and metric dual graduation is particularly useful in environments where both measurement systems are referenced, such as commercial mechanical rooms or shops working with imported equipment components.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measuring tool. Store the rule flat or rolled to prevent permanent bending that could affect measurement accuracy. Clean the graduated surface regularly to keep markings legible. Handle with care to avoid kinks, which can compromise the straightness of the rule.
