Folding Ruler Vorel 13300 — PVC and Steel, Length 30 m

Folding Ruler Vorel 13300 — PVC and Steel, Length 30 m is a folding measuring tape constructed from polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coated measuring strip and steel components. The product is provided as a single-piece pack with a total measuring length of 30 m and a 10 mm wide tape. Its open plastic casing and crank retraction mechanism make it suitable for repeated outdoor and indoor measuring tasks where a long, rigid measuring element and easy maintenance are required.

Advantages

The open housing design allows quick cleaning of the tape and reduces the risk of dirt buildup that can impair measurement accuracy. A sharp metal spike at the tape end provides secure anchoring in soil or other soft surfaces for one-person measurements. The combination of PVC-coated strip and steel parts yields a balance of flexibility and rigidity for reliable distance measurement over long spans. The crank handle enables controlled retraction and compact storage when measurements are complete.

Suitable for

• Construction site distance measurement and layout
• Land surveying and terrain measurement
• Renovation projects and interior measurements
• Workshop and industrial measurement tasks requiring a long tape

Key specifications

• Total length: 30 m
• Tape width: 10 mm
• Tape material: PVC-coated measuring strip
• Casing: open plastic housing for easy access and cleaning
• Retraction: manual crank for winding
• End fitting: sharp metal spike for anchoring in the ground
• Color: white tape strap

How to use

Extend the tape along the measurement line and anchor the sharp spike at the tape end into the ground or secure it at a fixed point. Use the rigid PVC-coated strip to maintain a straight line over the measured distance; an assistant can hold the opposite end if needed. Read the distance on the tape markings at the required point. After measuring, turn the crank to retract the tape evenly into the open casing, keeping hands clear of the winding mechanism to avoid injury.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape clean and dry; after use in wet or dirty conditions, rinse and dry the tape before winding to prevent abrasion and corrosion. Use the spike only on appropriate surfaces and avoid excessive force when anchoring to prevent damage to the tape end. When transporting, keep the tape wound and secured to reduce wear on the PVC coating and to maintain measurement accuracy.
