Folding Ruler Vorel 12100 — PVC and Steel, 10 m, 10 mm

Folding Ruler Vorel 12100 — PVC and Steel, 10 m, 10 mm is a compact, foldable measuring tool designed for construction, carpentry and general measurement tasks. The tool combines a steel measuring tape with a protective PVC coating and a plastic housing with a crank for retraction, providing a balance of durability and convenient storage. Its 10 m length and 10 mm width make it suitable for measuring longer distances while remaining portable.

Advantages

The PVC coating protects the steel tape from wear and moisture, extending service life in typical jobsite conditions. A metal eyelet at the tape end enables secure hooking to surfaces or objects, allowing a single user to take measurements over extended distances. The plastic casing with a crank simplifies retraction and reduces risk of kinking, while the white-colored tape enhances contrast for legible markings.

Suitable for

• Outdoor and indoor construction layout and distance measurement
• Carpentry and woodworking when measuring cut lengths or layouts
• Surveying short runs, fencing, or landscaping tasks
• General DIY and maintenance measurements around the home or workshop

Key specifications

• Tape material: steel with PVC coating
• Overall length: 10 m
• Tape width: 10 mm
• Tape color: white
• End fitting: metal eyelet for hooking
• Casing material: plastic with crank retraction

How to use

Extend the tape from the plastic casing to the required length and secure the metal eyelet to the starting point or hold it in place while pulling the tape to the target. Read the measurement markings on the white-coated steel tape at the point aligned with the object being measured. Use the crank on the casing to retract the tape slowly and evenly to avoid kinking or damage to the PVC coating and joints. Fold the ruler or store it in its casing for compact storage when not in use.

Usage recommendations

To maintain accuracy and prolong the life of the tool, avoid sharp bends and excessive force when extending or retracting the tape. Keep the PVC-coated tape clean and dry when possible, and store the ruler folded inside its casing to protect joints and the crank mechanism.
