Folding ruler Wiha 410 2005

The Wiha 410 2005 folding ruler is a professional-grade 2-meter measuring tool designed for precision and durability. Constructed with a composite design, it features two top layers of longitudinal glass fibers that provide superior rigidity compared to traditional wooden rules. This material composition ensures the ruler does not swell when exposed to water and remains resistant to various chemicals, making it suitable for demanding work environments.

Advantages

The ruler incorporates a play-free, wear-free, and dirt-resistant joint system equipped with a spring pin to maintain constant tension. This mechanism allows for secure 90° and 180° latching, ensuring stability during use. The deep-embossed scale, available in high-contrast color combinations, provides excellent readability in 1 mm increments. Additionally, the inclusion of metal ends on the first and last segments prevents wear, while the bidirectional scale allows for convenient reading from both sides.

Suitable for

• Professional construction and carpentry work
• DIY home improvement projects
• Measuring tasks in environments with chemical exposure
• Precision layout and marking in workshops

This folding ruler may not be suitable for tasks requiring extreme flexibility, as its rigid composite construction is designed for stability rather than bending around curved surfaces. It is also not intended for use in high-voltage electrical environments where non-conductive materials are strictly required.

Key specifications

• Length: 2 meters
• Width: 15 mm
• Weight: 124 g
• Accuracy: EU standard class II
• Material: Composite with longitudinal glass fibers
• Features: Bidirectional scale, metal end caps, 90° and 180° joint latching

To use the Wiha folding ruler, unfold the segments until they lock into the desired position. The joints are designed to snap securely at 90-degree and 180-degree angles. Place the metal end against the starting point of your measurement and read the value directly from the embossed scale. Because the scale runs in both directions, you can measure from either end of the ruler with equal ease.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the required measurement length for your specific tasks
• Consider the need for the bidirectional scale feature
• Assess the environment for potential chemical or moisture exposure

For optimal longevity, wipe the ruler clean after use in dusty or wet conditions to maintain the smooth operation of the spring-loaded joints.
