High-Vis Yellow Powder Paint
Thermally fused finish stays bright against drywall, lumber, and dark trim. Painted yellow rulers chip and dull on a jobsite; this finish doesn’t.
Black Thermo-Bonded Gradations
Numbers fused into the powder coat, not printed on top. They don’t rub off after years of marking against pencil, knife, and abrasive lumber.
2 in. Cutting-Guide Edge
A full 2 in. of non-glare aluminum to track a circular-saw or utility blade across 48 in. of sheet stock. Wider than AE141’s 1-1/4 in.; reads as a straight-edge first, ruler second.
