Where’s the edge? So often in the shop, that is a critical question. Trying to visually align a ruler to the edge of a board opens up an opportunity for error, particularly if your lighting is marginal and you have a callous or two on your fingertips.
The Hook Rule, adds a little feature – a hook – to the traditional shop rule and instantly improves your accuracy. Just bring the hook against the edge of your board and zero is instantly registered. It even works perfectly if the edge has already been rounded over or chamfered (as long as the profile is less than 1/4in or 6.4mm deep).
On one side, the scale reads from left-to-right (with the hook). On the other side, the scale reads from right-to-left (from the square end of the rule). Need to measure from an inside corner? Register from the square end. Need to measure from an edge? Flip it over and use the hook. The side that reads right-to-left is ideal for setting up your table saw. Place the end against the fence and align the desired measurement to you saw blade.
The end of the hook is also engraved, for easy access to check or set the height of saw blades, router bits and your drill press.
The Hook Rules are less than 1mm thick, eliminating parallax viewing error and keeping them light enough to handle easily. The rules are made from hardened stainless spring steel and finished with a special process that produces a non-glare satin surface. The graduations are laser engraved to a tolerance of ±.004in total accumulated error. In short, they’re designed and manufactured to last through generations of woodworkers.
Each comes with a wall-mountable Rack-It to keep your Hook Rules safe, but always within easy reach. Each size is available individually, or save some money with the complete set of three rules and Rack-Its.
Please note: although products are metric, the photos may depict imperial versions.
