The good rule

The Good Rule has been made with modern building measurements in mind, and traditional quality at heart. Every dimension, be it length, width, thickness, or angle  has a practical purpose in everyday building practice making work more efficient and accurate but also brings a sense of pride and enjoyment for the user.

Key features of The Good Rule include the full 600mm/2ft length, the standard width of a ½ sheet of GIB, stud spacing and floor joist spacing. The 45mm width of the rule is used for framing timber and marking stud width, nogs, and dwangs. The 300mm folded length is the standard screw spacing for jib and ply. The 180° angle finder speeds up the process of checking wall alignments and making angled mitre cuts.

The Good Rule was adapted for both metric and imperial systems, and later acquired by Ox Tools and sold as the Ox Tuff Rule.
