Ruler AWTools AW29801 — 40 mm width, 110 g weight

AWTools AW29801 — 40 mm width, 110 g weight is a compact precision ruler made of hardened steel with a riveted aluminium handle. Its 40 mm working width and 110 g weight deliver a balance of rigidity and portability for measuring, marking and guiding cuts in workshop, construction and hobby environments. The ruler includes a double-sided millimetre scale, the ability to set 90° and 45° angles, and a hang hole for convenient storage.

Advantages

The hardened steel profile provides durable, straight guidance while the riveted aluminium handle adds stability and comfortable handling. A double-sided millimetre scale enables measurements from either edge without repositioning the tool. The compact 40 mm width and light 110 g mass make the ruler easy to position on small workpieces and to carry on job sites. Built-in angle functionality (90° and 45°) and a hang hole for space-saving storage enhance workshop efficiency and organization.

Suitable for

• Measuring and drawing straight lines on wood, metal and sheet materials
• Marking and checking 90° and 45° angles in fabrication and carpentry
• Guiding cuts and layout work in small-scale construction and DIY projects
• Hobbycrafts and model making where a narrow, stable ruler is needed

Key specifications

• Material: hardened steel blade with riveted aluminium handle
• Working width: 40 mm
• Weight: 110 g
• Scale: double-sided millimetre scale
• Angle settings: 90° and 45°
• Storage: hang hole for wall or pegboard mounting

How to use

Place the ruler firmly against the workpiece edge for marking, measuring or guiding a cut. Use the double-sided millimetre scale to take accurate measurements from either side without moving the tool. For angle marking or checking, align the appropriate edge of the ruler at 90° or 45° to the reference surface and scribe the line. The riveted handle provides a stable grip when clamping or holding the ruler in position.

Usage recommendations

For best results, keep the ruler clean and free of burrs; inspect the edges periodically for wear that could affect accuracy. Use a clamp or hold the handle securely when guiding blades or routers to prevent slippage. Store the ruler on a pegboard or hook using the hang hole to preserve the straightness of the blade and ensure quick access.
