Ruler AWTools AW29800 — 40 mm width, 100 g

AWTools AW29800 — 40 mm width, 100 g ruler is a handheld measuring and marking tool made from hardened steel with a riveted aluminium handle. With a 40 mm blade width and a lightweight 100 g construction, this ruler is intended for accurate edge guidance, layout work and on-site measurements in DIY, carpentry and construction environments. The blade includes a double-sided millimetre scale and the design permits setting at common angles for right-angle and bevel work, while a hang hole enables compact storage.

Advantages

The hardened steel blade ensures wear resistance and straightness over prolonged use, and the riveted aluminium handle adds stiffness and comfortable grip. A double-sided mm scale on the blade allows reading measurements from either side without repositioning the tool. The ability to set the ruler at 90° and 45° angles supports marking and checking right angles and mitre layouts. At 100 g and a compact width of 40 mm the tool is easy to carry and manoeuvre on-site, and the hang hole provides tidy workshop storage.

Suitable for

• Marking and measuring straight lines on wood and metal
• Checking and marking 90° and 45° angles for layout and joinery
• General on-site measurements during construction and renovation
• DIY projects, carpentry, metalworking and craft applications

Key specifications

• Blade material: hardened steel
• Handle material: riveted aluminium
• Blade width: 40 mm
• Weight: approximately 100 g
• Scale: double-sided millimetre scale
• Angle positions: 90° and 45° settings
• Storage: hang hole for wall or pegboard mounting

How to use

Place the ruler along the workpiece edge or across the surface to establish a straight reference line, reading measurements from the millimetre scale on the appropriate side. To check or mark right angles, align the ruler at the 90° position against the reference edge; for mitre or bevel markings, use the 45° setting. Use the riveted aluminium handle to hold the ruler steady while scribing, cutting or marking. After use, hang the ruler by the storage hole to keep the workshop organised and protect the blade from damage.

Usage recommendations

For accurate results, ensure the blade is clean and free of debris before measuring. When measuring on irregular or rough surfaces, press the handle evenly to maintain full blade contact. Store the ruler dry and hang it to avoid contact with corrosive materials; periodically inspect the scale markings for legibility and the rivets for secure attachment.
