Measuring ruler SOLA folding wooden 1 m H1/6 model 53011101

Folding wooden measuring ruler SOLA H1/6 model 53011101 is a one-metre, multi-segment rule designed for accurate linear measurement on site. Constructed from hardwood segments joined with durable hinges, this foldable ruler extends to 1 m for straightforward distance checks and folds compactly for easy storage. The design is suited to carpentry, joinery and general measuring tasks where a solid, tactile measuring instrument is preferred over flexible tape measures.

Advantages

The wooden construction offers stable, low-stretch measuring surfaces and a comfortable grip for repeated use. Hinged joints allow quick deployment and compact folding, reducing risk of damage during transport. Markings are easy to read for fast measurement, and the rigid form provides reliable straight-line alignment on edges and surfaces. The simple mechanical design requires no power or calibration for routine tasks.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and woodworking measurements on site
• Joinery, door and window fitting
• Quick layout checks and short-distance measuring in workshops
• Tradespeople who need a compact, durable folding ruler

Key specifications

• Length when extended: 1 metre
• Material: hardwood segments
• Folding design with multiple hinged sections for compact storage
• Durable metal hinges for repeated folding and unfolding
• Clear linear scale markings for easy reading

How to use

Unfold the ruler until all segments are aligned straight and the hinges lock into position. Place the ruler along the surface or edge to be measured, aligning the zero mark with the measurement start point. Read the scale at the desired end point. After use, fold the segments back carefully along the hinge joints to reduce stress on the hinges and store the ruler in a tool bag or pocket where it will remain protected from moisture and excessive force.

Usage recommendations

For accurate results, ensure the ruler is fully extended and the segments are straight before reading measurements. Keep the wooden surface dry and avoid exposure to prolonged humidity to maintain dimensional stability. Periodically check hinge tightness and clean markings to preserve legibility.
