12" Magnifying Ruler for Data Work

This 12-inch clear plastic ruler combines a standard scale in 1/16-inch increments with metric graduations in centimetres and millimetres. A built-in 2x magnifying strip runs the full length and measures 1/2 inch wide. It is designed for office tasks such as proofing text, reading spreadsheets and analysing dense data tables.

Upgrade from a Plain Rule

A standard ruler forces you to lean close or reach for a separate magnifier when columns are tight. This tool merges both functions so you stay in your working posture and keep one hand free. The jump is worth it whenever you regularly cross-reference fine print or multi-column reports.

Capacity and Headroom

The 12-inch length covers A4 and US letter pages without repositioning. The 1/2-inch magnifying band handles typical spreadsheet row heights and body-text leading comfortably. Very small footnotes or micro-print beyond the 2x power will still need a stronger loupe.

Questions about this item

What are the overall dimensions of the 15571 ruler?

The ruler measures 2.38 inches wide, 14 inches long, and .5 inches deep.

How should I place the ruler to use the magnifying area correctly?

Lay the clear plastic ruler flat on the page so the .5 inch wide magnifying strip runs along the text you want to enlarge.

Will the printed scales wear off with regular use?

The graduations are molded into the clear plastic, so they will not rub off or fade over time.
