Featuring 5R multi-scale graduations (1/10", 1/100", 1/32", 1/64"), it offers unparalleled accuracy with a durable, rust-resistant alloy steel build. Its flexible yet stable design and dual-end readability make it an essential ruler for professionals demanding precision and versatility. ## Description This precision 6" 5R flexible ruler is made in the USA by Products Engineering Company (PEC Tools), a premier tool manufacturer. Rule is made from spring tempered and hardened steel and is .500" wide by .020" thick. It has a "high- contrast" black chrome finish that provides better rust resistance than polished steel and can be easily read in both low and bright light conditions. The sides of each rule are ground parallel and each end is accurately ground square to allow reading from either end. 5R graduations have 1/10" and 1/100" on one side and quick-reading 1/32" and 1/64" on the other. Graduations are precision photo etched and then white filled for easy readability. Review: Good view, fantastic value. - I'm happy with mine so far. Measuring it with my B&S dial caliper it's only two thousandths longer than six inches, which is far better than the accuracy my eyes will resolve on its scale. I can't attest to its finish's long-term durability as I've only been using it for about a month, but it's not visibly deteriorated, so I'm not worried. One minor downside of the white markings is that, because they're deeply etched (a good thing!), they can fill up on top of the white paint with dark gunk that eliminates the contrast. Wipe the gunk out across the rule, in the same direction as the graduation lines, and you're good again. Don't loan it to someone who might lay it across wet Dykem, or the white paint could be permanently stained. Mine has pink markings on one side for that reason, and alcohol hasn't restored them to white. It's still easy to read, so that's not a point against it. I like this tool a lot, and even with my 34-year-old astigmatic eyes I can make out the hundredths scale, though it's still not fun. Review: White on black makes it easy to read - The white on black makes this ruler easy to read. I own several good steel rules. I like this one because it reads true measurement from the very end. Many start the measurement some distance from the end and while they may be very accurate you can't measure into a recess for example. I have another narrow (0.5") ruler like this but it's the usual stainless steel ruler without the contrast of this one. I like the fact that one side is in tenths and hundredths. The other side is 1/32 and 1/64. The decimal fractions make it easier to divide the distance. In fact I may buy the metric version as well for that reason. This rule does not have a metric scale on it. This scale is US made and is well made. ## Features - 100% Made in USA by PEC Tools Products Engineering Company - 5R markings with 1/10", 1/100" and quick-reading 1/32" and 1/64" - 6" flexible rule is .500" wide and .020" thick - Sides ground parallel and ends are accurately ground square to allow readings from both ends - "High-contrast" easy to read black chrome finish ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00ERY9GEQ | | Best Sellers Rank | #557,278 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #1,052 in Construction Rulers | | Brand | PEC Tools | | Brand Name | PEC Tools | | Color | Original version | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 530 Reviews | | Graduation Range | 1/64 Inches | | Item Dimensions L x W | 6"L x 0.5"W | | Item Weight | 0.1 Pounds | | Manufacturer | PEC Tools | | Material | Alloy Steel | | Material Type | Alloy Steel | | Model | 501-06EZ | | Part Number | 501-006EZ | | Product Dimensions | 6"L x 0.5"W | | Style | Square,Flexible | | Style Name | Square,Flexible | | UPC | 700667469201 798167890595 616909150113 | ## Product Details - **Material:** Alloy Steel - **Brand:** PEC Tools - **Color:** Original version - **Style:** Square,Flexible - **Graduation Range:** 1/64 Inches ## Images ![5R Flexible Machinist Ruler with Markings - 6 Inches, Black Chrome - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61+2jf-jbaL.jpg) ![5R Flexible Machinist Ruler with Markings - 6 Inches, Black Chrome - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jf0NXUNuL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Does it come with 2 rulers, like the picture shows?** A: Only 1 ruler for sale.

It's as precise as I can measure, and sufficiently rigid so it doesn't flop around or deflect under a little pressure. The markings are easy to read, and look like they'll last forever. The only downside I've found is that the 1/10 and 1/100 scales aren't as useful in my woodworking as I thought they might be (kind of obvious in retrospect...). I might have been better off with the 4R version, but that's on me. This is my first tool from PEC, but I'm sure it won't be the last. ## Frequently Bought Together - 5R Flexible Machinist Ruler with Markings - 6 Inches, Black Chrome - PEC Tools 12 Inch 5R Flexible Black Chrome, High Contrast Machinist Ruler with Markings 1/10 Inch, 1/100 Inch, 1/32 Inch and 1/64 Inch (Оne Расk) - General Tools Flexible 6-Inch Straight Edge Ruler #616, Stainless Steel - 4 Graduations – 1/32 inch, 1/64 inch On One Side, 1/10”, 1/100” On The Other Side --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/6458197-5r-flexible-machinist-ruler-with-markings-6-inches-black-chrome](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/6458197-5r-flexible-machinist-ruler-with-markings-6-inches-black-chrome) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-07-14*
