Overview
Stainless steel and acid-etched graduations set the Pacific Arc M-12 apart from plastic classroom rulers, with divisions down to 32nds and 64ths of an inch alongside a metric scale and a cork-backed non-slip base.
Most plastic rulers stop at sixteenths of an inch, but this one etches down to 64ths, which matters for technical drawing, model work, or anywhere small fractional differences count. The markings are acid-etched into the steel rather than printed, so they are built to resist the wear that rubs printed numbers off a ruler over time.
- 12-inch stainless steel construction
- Acid-etched 32nd and 64th inch plus metric markings
- Cork-backed non-slip design
- Hanging hole for storage
Who it's for
Artists, drafters, and quilters who need a metal straight edge with fine fractional graduations and a non-slip backing will get the most from this. It is overkill for anyone who just needs a basic classroom ruler.
Pros and cons
- 32nd and 64th inch graduations for fine work
- Acid-etched markings resist wear
- Cork backing prevents slipping
- Hanging hole for storage
- Finer graduations take practice to read at a glance
- Metal edge can mark softer work surfaces
Performance notes
Stainless steel keeps the edge straight for cutting and line work, and the acid-etched graduations are cut into the metal so they should not fade or rub off with handling. Divisions run to 32nds and 64ths of an inch on the imperial side, finer than the sixteenths on a typical hardware-store ruler, with a metric scale etched alongside. The cork backing holds the ruler against a drafting table or cutting mat while you work.
