2 Metre ABS Plastic Folding Rule Key benefits Measures up to 2 metres for longer tasks without needing multiple measurements. Made from durable, lightweight ABS plastic for easy handling and everyday use. Folding design collapses compactly for convenient storage in a toolbox, backpack or pocket. Plastic construction resists rust and corrosion, so it stays reliable in workshops and outdoor environments. Slight flexibility of ABS allows easier contact with mildly curved surfaces when needed. What it does for you Simplifies measuring long distances on-site or at home, reducing the need to carry bulkier tools. Folds away quickly to save space and reduce risk of damage during transport. Stays serviceable in humid or corrosive conditions where metal rulers might degrade. Key attributes Length: 2 metres when extended. Material: ABS plastic — durable, lightweight and corrosion-resistant. Design: Folding rule for compact storage and portability. Flexibility: Moderate; can conform to small curves for more practical measuring of non-flat surfaces. Practical applications Home improvement: Measure walls, windows, furniture and cabinetry for accurate planning and fitting. Construction and carpentry: Quickly check lengths of timber, moldings and on-site fixtures without a heavy tape or rule. Plumbing and shop work: Wrap around pipes or curved moldings for basic circumference checks and layout work. Usage tips Fully extend and lock the rule when measuring longer straight runs for ease of reading. Fold compactly and store in a toolbox or pocket to keep it protected and ready for the next task. Use the slight flexibility for curved surfaces, but avoid forcing the rule beyond its elastic limit. Reliable, portable and corrosion-resistant — this 2 metre ABS plastic folding rule is designed for straightforward, everyday measuring where a lightweight, compact tool is preferred.
