Folding Ruler Vorel TOYA 13200 — PVC and Steel, 20 m Length

Folding Ruler Vorel TOYA 13200 is a 20 m steel measuring tape with a protective PVC coating and a plastic open casing. Designed for linear measurement in construction, carpentry and DIY projects, the tape combines a long 20 m reach with a compact, foldable form factor and a crank retraction mechanism for controlled winding. An integrated sharp spike allows fixing the tape in the ground for stable surveying while the open housing permits easy cleaning and reduces dirt accumulation on the tape.

Advantages

The PVC outer coating protects the steel tape and folding joints from mechanical wear and corrosion, extending service life in typical jobsite conditions. The open plastic casing facilitates maintenance and prevents dirt build-up, while the crank enables smooth and safe retraction of the tape. The sharp spike provides straightforward anchoring in soil or soft surfaces for accurate linear alignment.

Suitable for

• Linear distance measurement on construction sites
• Carpentry layout and large-scale woodwork
• Surveying gardens, yards and landscaping tasks
• DIY projects requiring long-range measurement

Key specifications

• Measuring element: steel tape with PVC coating
• Total length: 20 m
• Tape width: 10 mm
• Casing: open plastic housing
• Retraction: crank mechanism
• Anchoring: sharp spike for ground fixing
• Strap color: white

How to use

Pull the steel tape from the open casing to the required measuring point and anchor the spike in the ground or hold the tape at a fixed point. Extend the tape to the target location and read the measurement from the graduated scale on the tape. Use the crank to wind the tape back into the housing evenly, ensuring folds align correctly to avoid kinks. Clean the tape periodically through the open casing to remove dirt and grit that could affect accuracy.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape dry and avoid prolonged exposure to moisture to preserve the PVC coating and steel components. When measuring on rough or abrasive surfaces, retract the tape slowly and inspect the tape for damage before use. For stable measurements on soft ground, press the spike fully into the soil and maintain slight tension while taking readings.
