Ruler YATO YT-70715, aluminium measuring rule 1000 mm, 1 pc

The YATO YT-70715 aluminium measuring rule 1000 mm is a single-piece straightedge designed for accurate linear measurement and layout tasks. Constructed from lightweight yet rigid aluminium, this 1-metre ruler provides a stable reference for marking, cutting lines and checking straightness in carpentry, metalworking and general workshop applications. Its simple, durable construction makes it suitable for both professional and DIY use where a reliable, long straightedge is required.

Advantages

The aluminium body offers a balance of low weight and structural stiffness, reducing flex during measurement and layout operations. The corrosion-resistant surface maintains consistent dimensions and appearance in workshop environments. As a one-piece rule, it eliminates joints or seams that can affect accuracy, and the 1000 mm length covers common measurement needs without the bulk of longer straightedges.

Suitable for

• Measuring and marking straight lines on wood, metal and sheet materials
• Checking alignment and flatness of workpieces
• Layout work in carpentry, joinery and metal fabrication
• Use as a guide for cutting or scribing

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium for lightweight rigidity
• Length: 1000 mm useful measuring length
• Design: one-piece straightedge for stable measurements
• Finish: corrosion-resistant surface treatment
• Application: manual linear measurement and layout tasks

How to use

Place the aluminium rule along the edge or surface to be measured or marked, ensuring full contact along its length to minimise play. Use a pencil, scribe or marking knife against the straightedge to transfer accurate lines. For measurement, align the zero point with the reference edge and read the required distance along the rule. When using as a cutting guide, clamp the rule securely to prevent movement and run the saw or cutter along the edge with steady pressure.

Usage recommendations

Store the rule flat or hung to avoid bending. Clean off debris and metal filings after use to preserve the surface. For best results, check the straightedge periodically against a known reference to confirm it remains true.
