Folding wooden metre rule GEKO G29051, 1 m, white

Folding wooden metre rule GEKO G29051, 1 m, white is a compact folding ruler made of wood with a total measuring length of 1 metre. The tool folds for convenient storage and transport while providing clear metric graduations for accurate linear measurements. Its white finish improves contrast with printed graduations, making it suitable for basic measuring tasks in carpentry, DIY, home repairs and general layout work.

Advantages

The folding wooden metre rule combines portability and rigid construction: wooden segments hinge together to create a stable straight edge when extended and fold into a compact form for space-saving storage. The white surface improves visibility of the printed scale and the metric graduations are spaced for centimetre and millimetre reading. The simple mechanical hinge design requires no batteries or calibration, offering a reliable, low-maintenance measuring tool for everyday use.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and woodworking measurements
• DIY projects and house repairs
• Interior fitting and furniture positioning
• Crafts and hobby layout work

Key specifications

• Material: wood
• Length (total): 1 metre
• Finish: white painted surface
• Scale: metric graduations (centimetres and millimetres)
• Design: folding segments with hinged joints for compact storage

How to use

Unfold the ruler by releasing the hinged joints and extend the segments until they click or sit flat in line. Place the extended rule along the object or surface to be measured with the zero mark aligned at the starting point. Read the required measurement from the metric scale at the end point. After use, fold the segments back together following the hinge direction and store the ruler in a toolbox, drawer or measuring case to protect the painted surface.

Usage recommendations

For best measurement accuracy, ensure the ruler is fully extended and the segments are aligned flat; avoid using the ruler on very rough surfaces that might damage the finish. Keep the tool dry and store it flat or hung to prevent warping of the wooden segments. Use gentle pressure when aligning edges to avoid stressing the hinges.
