Folding ruler Vorel 12300 — PVC and steel, 30 m length, 10 mm width

Vorel 12300 is a folding ruler composed of PVC-coated material and a steel core, offering a total length of 30 m and a tape width of 10 mm. Designed for linear measurement in construction, renovation and DIY tasks, the design balances surface protection from the PVC layer with the rigidity and tensile strength of steel to support repeatable, reliable measurements on site.

Advantages

The PVC coating protects the tape surface from abrasions and weather exposure while the steel core maintains straightness and resists stretching. A plastic casing with an integrated crank enables compact storage and smooth retraction. A metal eyelet at the tape end allows secure hooking to edges and fixtures so a single user can reliably measure longer distances without assistance. The white-coloured tape provides clear contrast for markings and readings.

Suitable for

• Measuring long linear distances on construction sites
• Layout and marking for renovation and carpentry work
• Site surveys and outdoor measurement tasks
• DIY projects that require accurate, extended reach measurements

Key specifications

• Length: 30 m
• Width: 10 mm
• Material: steel core with PVC coating
• Tape color: white
• End fitting: metal eyelet for hooking
• Casing: plastic with crank retraction

How to use

Extend the tape from the plastic casing and hook the metal eyelet onto the measurement start point or edge. Keep the tape under moderate tension to reduce sag and obtain an accurate reading along the length. Read markings at the point required and, when finished, turn the crank on the casing to retract the tape evenly into the housing to avoid kinking or damage. Store the tool in a dry place away from prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve the PVC coating.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use on relatively straight lines with the tape held level and supported as needed; avoid sharp bends and heavy impacts to the tape, and periodically inspect the eyelet and casing mechanism for secure operation.
