Safety Ruler recommendations
Posted by Warren Beard on March 12, 2010 at 11:45 amHi All
I need to replace my safety ruler as it is getting a bit worse for wear at the moment. I currently have one of the Yellow Hexis rulers but found it to be not the best as the knife can still dig in to the paint and mine is now running on the bare aluminium and not very smooth at all.
What have you tried and would recommend as a good quality one?
cheers
Warren

Warren I know what you mean with the yellow ones the paint is very soft. Nearly cut myself several times. I have seen these at JAG but not used one.

I’ve got a metre-length JAG rule, and I can highly recommend it. Expensive, but heavy & non-slip. I’ve also got a 500mm yellow one, which is not nearly so good.

I agree with Lorraine.
I have had my JAG one for 5 years now and use it all the time.
Cheers

bought 2 from Jag this week, one just under a meter and one just over a meter and they work great, however the best thing about them is the colour :lol1:
man those are some sexy rulers (insert sexy smiley here)
Thanks for the recommendation
hoping they will have some show specials as I would love an 8 footer too 😉
cheers

Yeah they are really "up" for the job 😳 :lol1:

we make our own in various sizes…
certainly not sexy, but do the job very well indeed…. cutting straight lines that is… 😛 -
Yeah I made this one a while ago but because I haven’t found anything to put underneath to stop it from sliding around while cutting it just sits in the corner now watching in shame as I use other rulers….
… and right in front of him too, a bit harsh I know but it serves him right 😕 *hair*
