Folding ruler Vorel TOYA 13500, PVC and steel, length 50 m, 1 pc

Folding ruler Vorel TOYA 13500 is a 50 m measuring tape combining a PVC-coated tape and steel construction to provide durability and dimensional stability. The single-piece tool is designed for measuring long distances in construction, surveying and general site work where a compact, foldable instrument with a retractable mechanism and grounding spike is required.

Advantages

The PVC coating protects the tape from abrasion and moisture while steel elements maintain straightness and accurate length over repeated use. An open plastic casing with a crank enables quick retraction and cleaning access, reducing dirt accumulation and the risk of damage. The sharp spike at the tape end allows secure anchoring in soil or soft surfaces for hands-free measurement.

Suitable for

• Measuring long distances on construction sites
• Land surveying and boundary marking
• Outdoor works such as landscaping and road maintenance
• General purpose distance measurement where portability and a long reach are needed

Key specifications

• Overall length: 50 m
• Tape material: steel with PVC coating
• Tape width: 10 mm
• Tape color/strap: white
• Casing: open plastic housing for easy cleaning
• Retraction: manual crank for winding the tape
• End fitting: sharp spike for fixing in ground

How to use

Secure the tape's spike in the ground or hold the tape end at the starting point, then walk out to the desired endpoint while extending the tape. Use the tape markings to read distance. To retract, operate the crank to wind the tape back into the open housing, keeping tension controlled to prevent tangling or kinking. Clean the tape after use if exposed to mud or grit to preserve the PVC coating and ensure smooth operation.

Usage recommendations

For accurate results, keep the tape aligned with the measurement line and avoid sharp bends. Store the tape dry and wind it slowly with the crank to avoid overstressing the steel core. Inspect the spike and tape edge before use and remove debris from the open housing to maintain measurement precision.
