WihaLonglife Electricians Folding Rule 2 m

With this you can measure up to 2m without a second pair of hands, and it folds nicely in to 22cm increments to do shorter measurements easily & quickly.So far so good, but Stabila & Festools have rules which do that, I hear you say?But as this is plastic, with engraved measurements [that are easy to see - black on orange], it's survived everyday use, carried around in a rule pocket, and the rule edge markings don't scuff away like painted wood versions.Plus which it is sturdily but, but flexible enough to use as a 2m cable rod - for fishing cables between downlight cutouts for example. It even has a teardrop-shaped hole at one end for that purpose.AND it has ready-made spacing marks for flush boxes. Imperial as well as metric measurements would have been the icing on the cake [but that's only cos I'm an old git who uses both]Top marks Wiha!

I was a bit sceptical about this rule as it did seem cheap for a Wiha branded tool however it's feels well made, a solid item. It's folded size makes it fit into a tool box easily, it fits perfectly into my Dewalt Tstak drawer tool box without a problem. It is sometimes easier to use a solid ruler rather than a steel tape especially if you are measuring above your head as often the steel rule will fold on you!I will probably buy another one soon.

Great product, delivery service and communication highly recommended 👌 👍

Hope to use to good effect.

Works great!

does as is says on the tin, sturdy and very good

Why have I never seen a tradesmen in the UK with one of these on site? Apparently they are used loads in Europe and it turns out every pair of work shorts and trousers I own have a special pocket for exactly this! Well I can see why they are so popular and I can’t believe I didn’t have one for the last decade…Barely used a tape measure this past week at work. This is way easier for many of my measuring needs.Seems durable and the markings a clear

Folding rules are the weapon of choice in most of Northern Europe. Every self-respecting builder and tradesman has one sticking out the rule pocket of his or her work trousers. I'm in agreement with them and always prefer to use a folder instead of a tape measure.These Wiha are possibly the best plastic rule I've used with deeply cut marks that won't get scraped off in a hurry. Really flexy for going round curves (plastic rules are much more flexible than wooden ones), and the cable puller which looks like a gimmick, actually works really well.
