This AB Tools 1 Metre Folding Plastic Ruler (TF337) is designed for professionals and hobbyists needing a compact and versatile measuring tool. Its key benefit is its foldable design, allowing for easy storage without compromising its full 1-metre length. A minor caveat is that the plastic construction, while durable, may be less rigid than metal rulers for certain precise applications. This ruler measures in centimetres, millimetres, and inches, folding down to just 270mm for portability and featuring deep-etched markings that resist wear.

The ruler extends to a maximum length of 1 metre (1000mm / 40 inches). When folded, its maximum length is 270mm (27cm).
The ruler displays measurements in centimetres, millimetres, and inches.
The markings are deep-etched into the plastic, designed to resist rubbing off and wear over time.
While accurate, the plastic construction and folding joints may introduce slight flex compared to a rigid metal ruler. It is suitable for most general-purpose measuring and drawing tasks.
The ruler can be folded to a compact size for storage in toolboxes or drawers. It also features a hanging hole for convenient wall storage.
The ruler has a width of 18mm.
The plastic construction offers some resistance to moisture, but it's best to wipe it dry after use and store it in a dry environment to prolong its lifespan.
Ensure the folding joints are fully extended and aligned. Gently press down on the ruler sections to help them settle flat. If persistent, check joints for any debris.
These markings are deep-etched and should not fade. If they appear unclear, clean the ruler with a damp cloth. If damage is suspected, contact the retailer.
For stiffness, gently work the joints back and forth. For looseness, ensure no debris is preventing a firm closure. Avoid forcing the joints.
Setup: This ruler requires no setup. Simply unfold it to its full 1-metre length or use it in its partially folded state. The folding mechanism is designed for immediate use.
Compatibility: The ruler is compatible with standard measuring needs across various fields, including education, crafts, woodworking, and general DIY. It is designed for use with standard marking tools like pencils, pens, and markers.
Care: To maintain the ruler's accuracy and longevity:
