Folding Ruler STABILA 1704, 1.0 m length, white, 13 mm wide, weather-resistant, accuracy class III, fiberglass-reinforced plastic

Folding Ruler STABILA 1704 is a 1.0 m folding measuring stick with 13 mm wide segments and a white finish. The ruler is made from fiberglass-reinforced plastic for improved durability and is rated accuracy class III. Its weather-resistant construction allows use in both indoor and outdoor conditions and is intended for general measuring tasks, carpentry, installation work and quick length checks on site.

Advantages

The fiberglass-reinforced plastic construction delivers a lightweight yet robust measuring tool that resists deformation and moisture better than ordinary wooden rulers. The 13 mm wide segments provide clear, easy-to-read graduations while the folding design allows compact storage and fast deployment. Weather-resistant materials and manufacturing ensure the ruler maintains measurement accuracy and mechanical integrity when exposed to damp or variable jobsite conditions. Accuracy class III provides defined tolerances suitable for everyday trade and installation tasks.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and joinery measurements
• Installation and on-site fitting work
• Quick length checks and layout control
• Indoor and outdoor measuring where moisture resistance is required

Key specifications

• Total extended length: 1.0 m
• Segment width: 13 mm
• Material: fiberglass-reinforced plastic
• Finish color: white
• Weather resistance: suitable for damp and variable conditions
• Accuracy class: III
• Folding design for compact storage

How to use

Unfold the ruler to its full length and lock the segments in the straightened position to take linear measurements. Align the zero mark with the starting point of the measurement and read the required dimension at the end point. For measurements in tight spaces fold or partially extend the ruler to reach the required length. After use collapse the segments along the hinge joints and store the ruler in a toolbox or pocket to protect the graduations.

Usage recommendations

Keep the ruler clean and free of grit to prevent wear of the folding joints. Avoid exposing the instrument to prolonged direct sunlight or heat sources for long periods to reduce potential colour fading and material stress. For critical dimensional work, verify measurements against a calibrated standard and handle the ruler on a flat surface for the most accurate readings.
