View Full Version : RascalRule
While searching for information on four-fold rules, I discovered a Canadian invention called the RascalRule. Looks like quite an item.

Made of fiberglass composite, has a bubble level built in, a protractor, works as a square, does %grade, opens to 24" and folds to 7". Lowest web price is $12. There's an aluminum version, but I haven't found a price on it yet:

I think I'll just leave the old Stanley's alone, and try a RascalRule.

Too many beautiful boats to count, Robertson head screws and now the Rascal Rule. We owe our Northern Cousins a big "Thanks. Hey".

Ouch! Just got a reply from the company. $125CA plus S&H from BC, for the aluminum model. They sell it direct. Too rich for my blood.

Ouch is right! Upon reflection, that plastic one looks mighty nice.

The cheaper RascalRule arrived. It appears to be very toughly constructed.
The material is fiberglass/mineral-filled (?) nylon composite. The hinges are stainless, and the rivet in the arc-hinge is monel.
The calibration is metalic red on yellow, highly visible, and as precise as my steel rules...inches/16ths on one edge, centimeters on the other. The inch/16ths scale goes from left to right on one side, and right to left on the other.
The arc-hinge is calibrated as a miter gauge on one side, with detents or stops at 0, 45, 90, 135, and 180 degrees. The flip-side is a roof-pitch calibration.
There's a 1" long acrylic level bubble molded into one leg. Each leg is exactly 1" wide, and 1/4" thick. Open, it's a rigid 24" rule. Closed, it's 7 1/8" long by 2" wide by 1/2" thick.
My only complaint is that while the legs lock open, they don't lock closed, so they flop around a bit.
We'll see how it holds up in use.
