12-Inch Stainless Steel Ruler

The Acme United 10415 is a 12-inch stainless steel ruler manufactured under the Westcott brand. It features permanent acid-etched graduations showing both sixteenth-inch and metric scales. A non-slip cork backing protects desk surfaces and keeps the rule steady during use. The stainless steel construction resists corrosion and everyday wear.

For General Measuring Tasks

This ruler suits students, office workers and hobbyists who need a durable straight edge for paper, fabric or light craft materials. The flexible steel allows it to conform to slightly curved surfaces for awkward measurements. Buyers who require a rigid rule for machine work or a longer scale for full-sheet layouts should consider other options. The single-unit pack is not suited for bulk classroom kits.

Cork Backing and Etched Scales

The cork base prevents the ruler from sliding on smooth tables and shields the surface from scratches. Acid-etched markings remain legible after repeated cleaning and heavy handling, unlike printed scales that wear off. Dual sixteenth-inch and metric graduations eliminate the need for separate imperial and metric rules. The ruler is sold individually, ready for immediate use.

Questions about this item

Does the 12in ruler need any other tool to start measuring?

No, the stainless steel ruler works on its own; the etched sixteenths and metric scales are ready to use straight from the box.

Can I keep using my existing plastic rulers alongside this one?

Yes, the cork-backed steel ruler sits flat without sliding, so it complements plastic rulers without interfering with them.

How do I check the 10415 ruler is accurate after unpacking?

Align the zero mark with a known reference edge and verify that the permanent acid-etched graduations line up at each inch and centimetre.
