12 inch rule

[francovendee]

I'm trying to buy a 12" rule that has the inch scale on the top edge.
I can buy inch/metric rules but they come with the inch scale on the lower edge.
I lost one where the the scale started at opposite ends so you had to turn the rule the other way if you wanted to swap from inches to centimetres.
I prefer to work in inches and find it awkward using the bottom of the rule.

Here you go, metric one side, inch the other.

import one from the USA, or from the likes of bang good which is made for the US market.

Why? They are easily available in the UK. I just posted a link to one you can have tomorrow (if you have Prime).

EDIT: Just seen OP is in France, shouldn't be too much of an issue. In fact I'll set my location as France and see.

I was really annoyed when Wickes stopped selling a metre rule that was imprinted both ways one side had the inches on the top the other side had metric on the top it was very very useful. Ian

I think I have that exact rule and it's very good, had it for years.

Many thanks for the suggestions.

the 12 inch rule is that there must always be 12 inches of it.

Give a man an inch and he thinks he is a ruler
