Description

The Centipede is the metric version of the TEC Accessories Inchworm “ruler in the round”. It is a functional keychain accessory that you’ll use more times than you ever thought! The Centipede is a rod of 4.76 mm [3/16″] diameter 6Al-4V grade titanium with grooves cut at 2 mm increments up to 8 cm long. The outside surface is bead blasted to a uniform matte finish, and new grooves are then cut every centimeter for ease of reading.

Lightweight and convenient, you can use the Centipede for the following:

Check your tire tread depth
Check the width of a broken fan belt or hose for replacement
Checking nail and metric screw sizes and lengths
Use as a scale for map reading
Measure thickness of materials
Comparing different product sizes at the store
Job-related measurements
Visualizing the size of a product based on reading product size specifications
Comparing the physical size of a part with the product packaging specifications at the store (i.e. buying a replacement plumbing fitting)
