SR Pocket / Bench Rules
In 1984, John Economaki designed and introduced the SE-24, 24” inch Straight Edge to the Bridge City Tool collection. Followed by the SE-24, he then brought to life the SR (Straight Rule) series two years later. With John’s unique design concept and amazing craftsmanship, these rules becameextremely popular in the woodworking world soon after.
Based upon the original concept, we have upgraded the rules with a high-grade stainless steel blade and added a stunning new PVD coating to make these rules top notch.
Not only will these upgraded rules be functional and stylish, but also will be a great value over their predecessor. This makes the SE and SR rules a great addition to anyone’s collection!
Besides the obvious use as a straight rule, SR series rules are also excellent little straight edges with precision ground surfaces. They are terrific for marking, scoring, or cutting with knives. You can use them for layout work and for making precise measurements. All SR series rules are made of high-gradespecial stainless steel and all surfaces are coated by the advanced PVD(Physical Vapor Deposition) process. This unique PVD coating generates super surface hardness for wear resistance and low friction.
As the old proverb says: “measure twice, cut once”. With that in mind, you can never have too many rules in the shop. Having an accurate and dependable rule such as the SR rules will improve your workflow, and will be your new “Go-To” tool in the shop.

Laser-etched Graduations
and Accurate Reading
AII graduations are laser-etched for precise readings and measurements,as well as wear resistance.
The 150mm, 300mm and 600mm Metric rules feature left-to-right (right-to-left on the other side) reading 1mm with extra 0.5mm resolution at the end.
The 6", 12" and 24” Imperial rules feature left-to-right (right-to-left on the other side) reading 32nds and 16ths.
The 6" and 12" Imperial rules havelaser-etched graduations on the end of the blade for ease of use withoutcluttering the 1" end .
Multiple Uses
The SR series rules feature surface ground edge, which combined with the high-grade stainless steel blade, gives a pristine surface for layout work with a knife.
It is the perfect tool for checking plane soles, sighting wear in machine castings,setting up jointers, determining the twist in a plank of wood, and a myriad of other uses.
32mm Indexing Points
(Metric Version)
Metric rules have an indexing point at every 32mm, which assists you to utilize the 32mm System much more easily. The 32mm system is commonly utilized in European-style cabinetmaking to space the distance between the holes for shelf supports.
Premium Material
and Unique PVD Coating
All the SR series rules are made of high-grade special stainless steel for excellent rust resistance.
In addition, all the surfaces of SR series rules are treated with advanced PVD coating (Physical Vapor Deposition), which provides a stunning decorative finish with strongcorrosion, wear and fingerprint resistance.
***PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating, also known as thin-film coating, is a process in which a solid material is vaporized in a vacuum and deposited onto the surface of a part. It is widely used in Aerospace, Automotive, Firearms, Optics, Jewelry and some consumer electronics, like the finishes of the iPhone.
The surface of the SR series rules can be marked with a pencil and easily wiped clean.
Charming Package Design
The SR series rules will come featured in a triangular prism shaped package that isdesigned with form, functionality, and fun in mind. Why a triangular prism, you ask? Not only will it look amazing as a decor, but will also add a certain geometrical charm toanyone’s workshop.
Inside of the triangular prism, we use high-quality foam to protect the rules from anyaccidental damages that may occur, so it’s the perfect spot for storing your rules after every use. With an amazing tool in a great package, you’ll have a tool that will serve you well for years to come!
