The skimming rule comes in 400mm, 600mm, 800mm and 1000mm. Pick the size at the size picker above. Plasterers carrying one rule typically choose the 600mm or 800mm as the daily-use length, then add the 1000mm for larger flat runs and the 400mm for cutting in around openings. Sizing depends on the wall geometry you work to most often.
The blade is high-quality stainless steel for a smooth, flat finish that does not pit or rust between coats. It is supported by a rigid aluminium alloy body finished in powder-coated orange so it is easy to spot on site. The aluminium gives strength without weight, so the rule is light enough to use overhead without fatigue while keeping the straightness that defines the finished surface.
It is built for plastering, skimming, drywall finishing, jointing and surface preparation. Plasterers use it to flatten skim coats and chase out high points. Drywall installers run it across joint compound to produce flat seams. Decorators use it to flatten putty and filler. The stainless edge gives a clean cutting line and the aluminium body keeps the blade rigid across the full width of the rule.
Yes. We make a dedicated Hammerex Skimming Rule Sleeve in 1680D ballistic fabric, sized for the 600 / 800 / 900 / 1000 / 1200 / 1800 mm rule lengths. The sleeve fits Refina, NELA, Marshalltown, DeWalt rules and our own. It is the right pairing when you are moving the rule between sites or laying it in the back of the van alongside trowels and other edged tools.
All sizes are in stock and we dispatch within 3 working days of confirmed order. Typical UK delivery is around 5 working days from dispatch. Outside the UK, our team quotes air freight on WhatsApp before you commit. The rule carries a 1 year manufacturing-defect warranty from the dispatch date. Every unit is made at our Yogyakarta workshop with the same blade and body spec across all four sizes.
Every Hammerex product is made in our own Yogyakarta, Indonesia factory and dispatched from there via EMS air freight. We don't drop-ship; the same workshop that stitches the leather packs and posts the order.
Standard dispatch is within 48 hours of order confirmation, posted to EMS. Custom thread colour, custom company branding, and Pro Trade Cover orders add roughly +2 working days to dispatch because they're cut, stitched and finished to spec.
Typical UK delivery is 5-6 working days from EMS pickup. We send tracking on dispatch. Free UK delivery is available on selected products; non-UK destinations are confirmed on WhatsApp at checkout.
No. Hammerex has been supplying the UK trade through wholesale distribution for over 12 years. We now sell direct from the factory so the buyer keeps the margin the distributor used to take.
Yes — most leather belts and tool pouches can be laser-printed with your company name and logo for +£10 per item. Open the "Your company brand name" slider on the product page; our admin confirms artwork with you via WhatsApp and sends a mock-up for approval before production starts.
Beyond the standard 1-year defect warranty, the Pro Trade Cover keeps your belt in service for 3 full years on the parts that wear under daily site use — re-stitching, rivet/stud replacement, buckle service, slider replacement, and leather conditioning. You post the belt to us, we fix it and post it back. You pay postage both ways; we cover all labour and materials. Unlimited claims for 3 years from delivery.
Yes. Black is the house thread colour and is included free. Six other colours (Yellow, Red, Brown, Orange, Green, White) carry a small per-unit fee and add +2 working days to dispatch while we stitch your order to spec. Selectable on the product page in the "Thread colour" slider.

We use the right material for the job — different leathers across our range, faux leather, and synthetic fabrics where they outperform leather (water resistance, weight, washability). Cutting, stitching, riveting, QC and pack-out all happen under one roof in Yogyakarta. Every unit is inspected on CCTV-recorded QC before pack — no outsourced assembly, no reseller in the chain.
Yes. We run a distribution-partner programme with transparent pricing, protected territories and fair monthly targets — designed around real demand in your market. Retail welcomed from 30 kg mixed product orders. Apply via the Partners page on the site.
We send the EMS tracking number on WhatsApp the day your order is dispatched. EMS provides updates from collection through customs to your door — typical UK transit is 5-6 working days. If anything stalls, message us on WhatsApp and we'll chase EMS for you.
