Spi 13-882-6 Flexible Steel Rule 6 Inch 5R

Product Description

The SPI 13-882-6 is a flexible stainless steel rule designed for precision layout and measurement tasks in trade and industrial settings. Measuring 6 inches in overall length and 1/2 inch in overall width, this rule features a 5R graduation style with three scales: 1/100, 1/32, and 1/64 inch. The flexible construction allows it to conform to curved or irregular surfaces where a rigid rule would lose contact. At 0.0200 inches thick, it is slim enough to slide into tight spaces while still providing clear, readable graduations on a polished silver finish. Machinists, pipefitters, and HVAC technicians keep this type of rule on hand for close-tolerance layout work.

This rule is suited for bench work, fabrication, and field service where accurate short-length measurements are required. The horizontal scale orientation and polished finish improve readability under shop lighting. The 5R graduation style provides four edges of measurement in a single compact tool, making it practical for tasks that require switching between fractional and decimal inch readings without changing tools. No hook is included, and the rule is non-magnetic.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Store flat or in a protective sleeve to prevent permanent bending of the flexible blade. Clean with a dry cloth to maintain the polished finish and graduation legibility. Avoid using the rule as a cutting guide with sharp blades, as this can damage the graduated edge.
