Ruler metal 100 cm, KOH-I-NOOR

KOH-I-NOOR 100 cm Metal Ruler – Precision Longevity

Product: Metal Ruler, 100 cm
Manufacturer: KOH-I-NOOR

When working with large-format drawings, design, or material cutting, plastic rulers often fail due to their flexibility or rapid wear. The KOH-I-NOOR 100 cm metal ruler is a professional solution designed to ensure maximum precision and mechanical resistance under the most demanding conditions.

Technical Summary (Specifications)

• Length: 1000 mm (100 cm).
• Material: Stainless or alloy steel.
• Scale: Engraved (metric system).
• Manufacturer: KOH-I-NOOR Hardtmuth (Czech Republic).
• Packaging: Supplied in packs of 10 pcs (price indicated per unit).

1. Structural Durability and Materiality

This measuring tool is made of high-quality metal, providing the product with stability and weight. Unlike plastic counterparts, this ruler:

• Does Not Deform: The metal is resistant to temperature fluctuations and bending, ensuring it stays perfectly straight even after prolonged use.
• Cut Resistance: It is an ideal tool for use with cutters or utility knives – the metal edge prevents blades from cutting into the ruler itself.

2. Engraved Scale – Permanent Visibility

One of the weakest points of cheap rulers is fading ink. KOH-I-NOOR solved this problem using engraving technology:

• Engraved Digits: The scale and numbers are embossed into the metal surface, meaning they will never wear off, even with intensive friction against paper or other surfaces.
• Clarity: High-contrast markings allow for quick and error-free measurement even in poor lighting conditions.

3. Application and Versatility

The 100 cm length makes this ruler indispensable for architects, engineers, tailors, and signage production specialists. It is perfect for:

• Drafting on large-format paper sheets (A0, A1).
• Executing straight cuts on cardboard, leather, or textiles.
• Precise marking in construction or furniture manufacturing processes.

Verdict

The KOH-I-NOOR 100 cm metal ruler is an investment that pays off through work quality and tool longevity. It is not just a measuring device, but a reliable guide for cutting. We recommend it to professionals who require uncompromising accuracy and tool robustness.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Does this ruler have a non-slip backing?

This is a classic metal ruler. While it doesn't have a rubber backing, its weight and metal texture provide good grip on most surfaces.

Does the scale start from the very edge of the ruler?

Yes, most KOH-I-NOOR professional models start the scale right from the edge, allowing for precise internal corner measurements.

Is the ruler flexible?

A 100 cm ruler has minimal elasticity, allowing for measurements on slightly curved surfaces, but it is rigid enough to maintain its shape in a horizontal position.
