Measuring folding wooden ruler STANLEY 2 m model 0-35-455

Folding wooden ruler STANLEY 2 m model 0-35-455 is a rigid jointed measuring tool that folds for compact storage and transport. With a total extended length of two metres and clear graduations, this wooden rule is intended for precise linear measurement in carpentry, woodworking and general DIY. The folding design combines stability when extended and convenience when carried, and the durable finish resists wear to preserve legibility of the scale.

Advantages

The STANLEY folding wooden ruler provides stable, straight measurements across its joints when fully extended and folds down to a compact size for easy storage in a toolbox or pocket. Its clear printed graduations and durable timber construction make repeated on-site measurements simple and reliable, while the coated surface helps protect the scale from abrasion and dirt.

Suitable for

• Measuring lengths of boards, timber and mouldings on-site
• Carpentry layout and checking cut dimensions
• Workshop and hobby woodworking tasks
• General DIY measuring where a rigid straight edge is needed

Key specifications

• Total extended length: 2 metres
• Material: hardwood (wooden construction with finish)
• Jointed folding design for compact transport and storage
• Clear printed graduations for linear measurement
• Durable surface finish to resist abrasion and dirt

How to use

Unfold the ruler until each joint locks flat and align the zero mark with the starting edge of the object to be measured. Keep the ruler pressed flat against the workpiece to avoid parallax and read the measurement at the opposing edge. For extended measurements, ensure joints are fully extended and straightened to maintain accuracy. Fold the ruler along its joints after use for compact storage; avoid forcing folded segments to prevent damage to the joints.

Usage recommendations

Store the ruler flat or folded in a dry place to prevent warping of the wooden material. Clean the scale with a soft dry cloth to maintain legibility and avoid using solvents that could damage the printed graduations. For highest measurement reliability, check the rule periodically against a calibrated measure and replace if joints become loose or the scale becomes worn.
