2m Folding Rule - Wooden Meter Stick made of Beech Wood

It seems faintly ridiculous to say it but I absolutely love this folding rule. I'm in the middle of raising the floor of my attic to fit more insulation and this ruler has made life so much easier for laying out the positions for the loft legs, joist reinforcements and the boards than wrestling with a tape measure. Obviously early days with regard to longevity but the rule feels really well built and takes some effort to unfold. Even at it's full 2 metre length it's plenty stiff and is much better than the 1.2m folding rule that I did have (and have managed to lose at some point) that was made of plastic or fibreglass and that used to fold up on itself if you so much as moved it. The metric only (printed on both sides) markings are nice and clear even in the slightly murky light of my attic. Top marks.

Absolutley love these Rulers, Super handy and would rather use this over a tape measure for a lot of jobs! would without a doubt reccomend

IF you're doing a bit of DIY and fed up with drooping tape measures, then this is for you., it can be made more useful with a number of machine accessories I also recommend the addon gap ruler and the Spirit level bubble.

No idea how I ended up paying what I did for it apart from the festool ones I normally get being out of stock I guess. It does however do the job quite well is easy to read and pretty sturdy so far. I know back in the day when merchants in Germany printed their names on these things and gave em away as advertisement gifts. I miss those days

These days the old carpenter's folding rule was in danger of becoming a museum piece as far as most DIY and even professionals were concerned. The retractable tape had taken over, and in many ways it has its advantages, measuring distance for example, the folding rule equivalent of a 10m retractable tape would be about the size of a laptop. But there are also disadvantages. When it comes to measuring vertical distances a rigid folding rule doesn't flop over, nor does it collapse or fall away when you are measuring, especially annoying when you are marking lengths and the flexible rule hooked on the end of a plank or wall keeps unhooking and has to be set up again. Both have their uses and I have used my father's old rule for many years, but it is getting a little worn after around 80 years or so of use so this is a replacement. The rigid rules are accurate, are easier to use then retractable rules in some cases, especially internal distances and, for the price, this is a bargain.

Good

I had anticipated a dual measurement, that is Imperial and Metric I only received Mmrtric?

This is a nice long length and rigid ruler. It’s easy to read however the painted markings were flaking off as soon as it arrived. The ruler is sturdy but the painted markings are not. Hence only three stars.

Trög att veckla ut och lederna stannar hellre på 170 grader än 180(rakt)

No inches which would be easy & good. Sturdiness is ok but not so easy to use but works ok

📝 DESCRIPCIÓN Metro plegable de plástico blanco 🧾 ESPECIFICACIONES - Metro plegable de madera - Dilatación 5 x 10-5mm - 10 Brazos - Remaches metálicos 💶 PRECIO - 25 de Julio de 2021: 4,99€ 🟢 PROS - Marca reconocida - Buenos acabados - Resistente - Buena flexibilidad - Fácil de plegar - Pintura resistente 8️⃣ VALORACIÓN Tengo varios metros por casa, pero todos enrollables. Están bien, pero en muchas ocasiones son un engorro el manejarlos, sobre todo para medidas largas. Este tipo de metros son propios de los profesionales de la madera y patronaje. Aunque se ven muchos, son muy cómodos y me apetecía tener un por casa además de los enrrollables. El sistema de plegado es cómodo y a diferencia de otro que probé de madera, los números parecen más resistentes. ✅ CONCLUSIÓN Un producto con una relación calidad/precio de lo mejor que encontré por Amazon. Un metro de buena calidad y muy práctico. 👍 RECOMENDABLE.

Mètre pliant en bois cassé au bout de deux semaines seulement, lors d'une simple manipulation en mesurant. Les articulations et le bois sont fragiles, la qualité de fabrication est très décevante pour un outil censé servir tous les jours. Je ne recommande pas.
