A:  Hi, chuck , i have this ruler, and i just grabbed it and try it to give you the correct answer. I put it on top one of my counter top and you can see a little gap in the center , so it does work, it didn't bend. This ruler is sturdy but it's a little flexible for you to bend it if you want. ( just a little) but for your question it worked for me. Remember this ruler is 4ft. And if have a bigger counter top. I don't know if this might work unless you get it a 72 in. Beam level . I think that's going to work better for you . Harbor freight have them for like $12.99. And if you have and account with them is 20%off. . If your counter top is smaller you can grab the 4tf level. . Hope this help buddy .
