Rigid Stainless Steel Construction
Black Chrome Finish Reliable Build: Made from high-quality Stainless Steel, fully hardened and tempered to provide excellent rigidity, durability, and dimensional stability for precision measuring and layout work. Easy-to-Read: Etched graduations are white paint filled to create clear high contrast markings that remain easy to read across the full length of the ruler when viewed against the black chrome finish. Professional Precision: 3R graduations combine commonly used fractional and decimal inch markings, allowing machinists, engineers, toolmakers, and inspectors to quickly balance fractional and decimal measurements without switching tools—ideal for fast layout, inspection, and conversion tasks. Made in USA: Proudly manufactured by PEC Tools, backed by over 65 years of experience producing precision-grade measuring tools trusted by professionals. PEC Black chrome rulers offer superior readability in various lighting conditions due to their matte, high-contrast finish, and better rust resistance compared to standard polished steel rulers. Readability: The primary advantage is a zero-glare, high-contrast finish that is easy to read in both dim and bright light conditions, which minimizes eye fatigue. The graduations are typically white-filled for maximum contrast. Corrosion/Scratch Resistance: The black chrome finish provides enhanced scratch and corrosion resistance compared to plain polished steel. PEC Black Chrome Ruler is a durable, professional-grade precision tool made in the USA by Products Engineering Corporation. It is favored by machinists, woodworkers, and engineers for its readability in different lighting conditions.
