Folding ruler AWTools AW27010, 2 m length, metal joints, plastic-coated segments

AWTools AW27010 folding ruler is a compact 2 m measuring tool formed from multiple hinged segments that fold into a small package for storage and transport. Constructed from high-quality beech wood with a two-layer painted and laminated finish, this folding rule combines traditional wooden segments with metal hardware. It has metric dual graduation and an accuracy class III rating, and the segments lock cleanly at 90 degrees for reliable straight-edge measurements.

Advantages

The folding ruler features metal joints, brass-plated rivets and end caps, and hardened steel springs that provide stable segment alignment and long-term durability. Plastic-coated segments protect the wood finish against wear and moisture while keeping the tool lightweight at approximately 60 g. The foldable design reduces storage space and simplifies transport to job sites.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and joinery measurements
• Construction layout and on-site dimensional checks
• DIY home improvement projects
• Furniture installation and gap measurements

Key specifications

• Joint material: brass-plated joints and rivets
• Springs: hardened steel springs for secure folding action
• Finish: two-layer painted and laminated surface

• Locking angle: positive 90° snap-in for all sections
• Weight: approximately 60 g
• Accuracy: class III

How to use

Unfold the AWTools AW27010 ruler by gently extending each hinged segment until the sections snap into the 90° position for a straight measuring edge. Place the ruler along the object or surface to be measured and read the metric graduations directly from the scale. To measure internal dimensions or angles, use the folded and angled segments as an adjustable straight edge. After use, fold the segments back together along the joints until the tool is compact for storage.

Usage recommendations

Store the folding ruler in a dry environment to preserve the painted and laminated surface. Avoid forcing joints beyond their snap-in position and keep the brass-plated hardware free of heavy corrosion. Clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth and avoid prolonged exposure to water to maintain accuracy class III over time.
