Folding wooden measuring rule 2 m HOGERT HT4M262

The HOGERT Folding wooden measuring rule 2 m HT4M262 is a two-meter folding carpenter's rule made from durable wood with metal-hinged joints. Its segmented construction folds down for compact storage and easy transport while providing clear linear graduations for straightforward measurements up to 2 meters. The simple, rigid profile enables accurate marking and alignment on timber, drywall and other surfaces during carpentry, renovation and general measuring tasks.

Advantages

The wooden construction offers a stable, low-flex measuring profile that resists bending during typical use. Hinged joints allow the rule to fold into a compact, portable length without loss of segment alignment, while metal fittings add durability to repeated folding. Clear, high-contrast graduations along the length ensure readable measurements and faster marking. The rule’s shape and weight promote comfortable hand positioning for repeated on-site use.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and woodworking layout and marking
• Home DIY projects and furniture assembly
• Interior renovation and finishing work
• On-site measuring where compact storage is required

Key specifications

• Overall length (extended): 2.0 m
• Material: wood body with metal-hinged joints
• Foldable segmented design for compact storage
• Linear graduations for metric measurement
• Rigid profile for reduced flex during use

How to use

Unfold the rule by extending each hinged segment until the joints lock flat to form the full two-meter length. Place the rule along the edge or surface to be measured and read the metric graduations at the point of interest. For marking, hold the rule firmly against the workpiece to prevent slippage and use a pencil or scribe to transfer the measurement. After use, fold the segments back together along the hinges for compact storage and carry. Inspect the hinges periodically and keep the surface clean for accurate readings.

Usage recommendations

Use the folding rule on flat surfaces for best accuracy and avoid applying excessive lateral force that could damage the wooden body or hinge fittings. Store the rule in a dry place to prevent wood swelling and check hinge tightness regularly. For fine layout work, ensure the rule lies flush against the workpiece before marking.
