Really useful Tool was created by kevinross
Happy new year to all.
Spent a bit of time in the workshop recently amongst thousands of pounds worth of tools & machinery only to realise that one of my useful items is this (what used to be ) cheap and cheerful flexible plastic centre rule. If i remember correctly, it came free with RCM&E about 20yrs ago. Solid acrylic and stainless options are readily available but does anybody know where i can find a replacement ?

It must be good, it's made by Acme!

Only issue is that the metric numbers are upside down!

I cannot believe that a company with such great aerospace technology credentials could make such a mistake...

If only you could turn it the other way up... Oh hang on, then the imperial scale will be upside down!
