Measuring tape SOLA HG 2/10, folding wooden rule, 2 m, yellow

SOLA HG 2/10 is a folding wooden rule offering precise linear measurement up to 2 m. Constructed from laminated wood with a yellow finish, this rigid rule provides clear graduations and dimensional stability for tasks where a stiff, non-flexible measure is required. The folding design reduces storage space and protects the scale during transport, making it practical for carpentry, construction layout and general on-site measuring work.

Advantages

The laminated wood construction minimises warping and maintains consistent length over time, while the yellow finish improves visibility of the scale. Clear, easy-to-read graduations support accurate reading and simple transfer of measurements. The foldable design gives compact storage and protection for the rule, and sturdy joints ensure repeatable alignment when extended for measurement. Its rigid format avoids bending errors common to flexible tapes when measuring straight edges.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and woodworking layout
• Construction and site dimensioning
• DIY home improvement and repairs
• Furniture fitting and installation work

Key specifications

• Length: 2 metres
• Type: Folding wooden rule
• Material: Laminated wood
• Finish: Yellow-coated surface for improved contrast
• Scale: Clear printed graduations for linear measurement
• Form factor: Multi-segment folding design for compact storage

How to use

Unfold the rule completely on a flat surface and lock the joints into alignment to reach the full 2 m measurement. Align the zero mark with the start of the object or edge to be measured and read the desired graduation directly. For transfer of measurements, hold the rule firmly against the reference edge and mark the measured point. After use, fold the segments back together to protect the scale and reduce the tool’s footprint in a toolbox or bag.

Usage recommendations

Store the rule in a dry place and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to preserve the laminated wood stability. Clean the graduations with a soft, dry cloth to maintain legibility. Use on straight edges for best accuracy and check joint alignment routinely to ensure reliable measurements.
