Tork Craft Aluminium Protective Ruler 1200mm/48"

At a Glance: 1200mm/48" aluminium protective ruler for measuring, marking and guiding cutting tools across larger workpieces and sheet materials

The Tork Craft ME022120 aluminium protective ruler is a practical long-format measuring and cutting guide for workshop, craft, installation, signage and general DIY applications. Its 1200mm or 48" length provides an extended working range for marking and measuring larger boards, panels, paper, cardboard and compatible sheet materials. The aluminium construction offers a rigid straight edge, while the protective profile helps keep the user's fingers positioned away from the cutting path when the ruler is used as a guide.

Extended measuring and cutting guidance with improved hand protection

The protective ruler combines a long straight measuring edge with a raised profile that helps shield the user's fingers while guiding a knife or cutting tool. Its 1200mm/48" length is particularly useful for longer cuts, larger-format layouts and workpieces that exceed the reach of a standard ruler.
