Measuring 6 inches in overall length and 0.5 inches wide, this rule features a satin chrome-plated finish that reduces glare and improves readability under shop lighting. The 4R graduation style provides four scales in one rule: 1\/16, 1\/32, 1\/64, and 1\/8 inch markings on both faces. At 0.020 inches thick, the blade flexes without permanent deformation, making it well suited for bodywork, machining, plumbing layout, and HVAC sheet metal fabrication.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis rule is a standard hand tool for licensed trades and general fabrication work. It fits naturally into tool pouches and layout kits used by sheet metal mechanics, pipefitters, and HVAC installers who need fine fractional graduations for marking and checking clearances. The horizontal scale orientation and satin chrome finish make it readable in both high-glare and low-light conditions. It ships as a single unit with no hook attachment included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFlexible blade conforms to curved surfaces without permanent deformation\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e4R graduation: four scales including 1\/16, 1\/32, 1\/64, and 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSatin chrome-plated finish reduces glare and resists corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStainless steel construction at 0.020 inches thick for durability and flex\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact 6-inch length fits standard tool pouches and layout kits\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNon-magnetic, no hook — clean and portable for general trade use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard flexible steel rule for general measurement and layout tasks in HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and fabrication applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo installation is required for this hand measuring tool. Keep the blade clean and dry to preserve the satin chrome finish and prevent scale buildup on the graduations. Avoid bending the blade beyond its natural flex range to prevent scoring or permanent deformation. Store flat or in a protective sleeve to maintain calibration accuracy over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Stainless Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 6 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.020 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: 4R\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation Increments\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/16, 1\/32, 1\/64, 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Satin Chrome-Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e: Silver\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Flexible\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eScale Orientation\u003c\/strong\u003e: Horizontal\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMagnetic\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHook Included\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.06 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: MITUTOYO\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 182-201\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"MITUTOYO","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51557892260146,"sku":"182-201","price":27.29,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/e8df610e150de6afdce9e4ece8b7cf9f_384a486f-1086-4aeb-93d0-11bd39b0811a.jpg?v=1786397520","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/mitutoyo-182-201-flexible-steel-rule-6-in-4r","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
