Folding ruler YATO YT-7080, aluminium, metric, 0.25 m

Folding ruler YATO YT-7080 is a compact aluminium folding measuring tool with metric graduations and a total length of 0.25 m. The hinged construction allows the ruler to fold into a small size for convenient storage and transport. The corrosion-resistant aluminium body provides lightweight durability while clear metric markings enable precise short-distance measurements in carpentry, installation and repair tasks.

Advantages

The aluminium construction combines low weight with resistance to rust and deformation, ensuring consistent performance in workshop and field conditions. The folding hinge design reduces storage space and protects the scale when not in use. High-contrast metric graduations are easy to read, enabling accurate measurements for quick checks and small projects.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and woodworking for measuring short cuts and fittings
• Plumbing and installation tasks where compact measuring tools are needed
• General repair and maintenance work around the home or workplace
• Hobby and DIY projects that require portable, accurate metric measurements

Key specifications

• Material: aluminium body for corrosion resistance and light weight
• Measurement system: metric graduations
• Total length (extended): 0.25 m
• Design: folding/hinged construction for compact storage
• Scale visibility: high-contrast, easy-to-read markings

How to use

Unfold the ruler fully to reach the required measuring length and align the zero mark with the starting point of the object to be measured. Hold the ruler firmly against the workpiece to prevent movement and read the metric graduation at the measurement point. Fold the ruler along its hinge sections after use to protect the scale and save space in your toolbox or pocket.

Usage recommendations

For accurate results, keep the ruler clean and dry; wipe off debris or adhesive residues before measuring. Avoid bending the ruler beyond normal folding action to preserve the alignment of the scale. Store the folded ruler in a dry place and inspect the hinge periodically to ensure smooth operation.
