Constructed from high-quality hardened steel with a riveted aluminium handle, the ruler provides a rigid straight edge suitable for marking, measuring distances and guiding cutting operations. The tool includes a double-sided millimetre scale, the ability to sit at 90° and 45° angles, and a hang hole for space-saving storage, making it suitable for a range of professional and hobby applications.

Advantages

The hardened steel blade and riveted aluminium handle combine to deliver durability and extra stability during use. A double-sided mm scale allows efficient reading from either side and reduces the need to reposition the ruler. The ruler’s capacity to be set at 90° and 45° angles supports accurate right-angle and mitre layout work. Its compact weight and form factor ensure steady placement and easy handling for straight-edge marking and cutting guidance.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and woodworking layout and marking
• Metalworking marking and right-angle checks
• DIY projects and crafting that require precise linear measurement
• On-site construction measuring tasks
• Use as a guiding straight edge for cutting and scoring

Key specifications

• Material: hardened steel blade with riveted aluminium handle
• Width: 40 mm
• Weight: 125 g
• Scale: double-sided millimetre scale
• Angle options: positions for 90° and 45° marking

How to use

Place the AWTools AW29802 ruler along the line or edge to be measured or marked, ensuring the hardened steel blade sits flat against the workpiece to avoid parallax errors. Read measurements from the double-sided mm scale or align the edge at the required 90° or 45° position for right-angle or mitre marking. Use the straight edge to guide knives, saws or scribes when scoring or cutting. The riveted aluminium handle provides a secure grip for stable placement during marking tasks.

Usage recommendations

Store the ruler on a pegboard or hook using the hang hole to prevent blade damage and ensure easy access. For precise measurements, keep the blade clean and free from burrs, and verify calibration against a known reference before critical layout work. Use appropriate personal protective equipment when guiding cutting tools along the ruler.
