Product Information

Full details

The Stabila Type 707 P 16550 is a professional-grade, 2-meter folding yardstick tailored for carpenters, contractors, and builders who require high-visibility, precision measurements in challenging job site environments. Featuring the 'Black Worker' design with large, bold digits and a weather-resistant finish, this tool provides exceptional durability and ease of use; however, its specialized polyamide joints are optimized for longevity rather than extreme flexibility, which may feel different than traditional wood-jointed rules.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this yardstick include imperial measurements?

No, the Stabila 16550 is specifically calibrated with centimeter and millimeter markings only.

Is the material waterproof?

The rule features a weather-resistant coating that protects against moisture during typical site work, but it should not be submerged in water for extended periods.

What is the benefit of glass-fiber reinforced joints?

These joints provide superior wear resistance compared to traditional plastic or metal rivets, ensuring the rule remains rigid and precise over years of use.

Can I replace individual segments if one breaks?

The rule is manufactured as a single cohesive unit; individual segments are not designed for field replacement.

Is the yardstick safe for electrical work?

Because it contains reinforced polyamide (plastic-based) components, it does not conduct electricity like a steel tape measure, but it is not classified as an insulated tool.

Troubleshooting

Joints feel stiff when unfolding

The reinforced joints are designed for durability. Simply work the joints back and forth several times; they will break in with minimal use.

Markings appear dusty or obscured

Use a soft, slightly damp cloth to wipe the surface. Avoid abrasive scrubbing which could damage the finish.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Exceptionally readable large-font markings
  • Durable glass-fiber reinforced joints
  • Weather-resistant construction suitable for all job sites
  • Precise dual-sided metric scaling

Cons

  • Not intended for extreme bending or tight-radius curves
  • Specific 'Black Worker' aesthetic may not appeal to all users
  • Lacks imperial measurements

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  • Setup: No assembly is required. The rule is ready for use out of the packaging. Simply unfold the segments until the joints snap firmly into the straight position.
  • Compatibility: Designed as a universal measurement tool for all professional construction, masonry, and cabinetry applications requiring metric precision.
  • Care: While the rule is weather-resistant, it should be wiped down with a clean, dry cloth after working in wet or muddy conditions to ensure the joints remain smooth. Avoid using abrasive solvents or harsh chemical cleaners, as these may damage the weather-resistant paint and diminish the visibility of the markings over time. Store the tool in a dry, cool area when not in use to prolong the lifespan of the material.
