Product Information

Full details

The GTV 2-meter folding wooden rule is an ideal measuring companion for professional carpenters and DIY enthusiasts who value traditional precision and portability. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-grade, smooth-folding joints and a clear, double-sided metric scale that ensures long-term accuracy; however, users should be mindful that it lacks the self-retracting convenience of modern steel tape measures.

FAQs

What is the total length of the rule?

The rule is 2 meters long when fully extended.

Is the measurement scale printed on both sides?

Yes, it features a double-sided metric scale for added convenience.

How should I clean the wooden rule?

Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe away dust and debris. Do not soak the wood in water.

Is this tool suitable for outdoor use?

It is designed for standard workshop and indoor use; prolonged exposure to rain or high humidity should be avoided.

Can the joints be tightened if they become loose?

The joints are factory-set for durability; avoid tampering with the rivets to maintain the accuracy of the rule.

Troubleshooting

Joints become stiff or difficult to fold

Clear any accumulated dust from the hinge area and apply a small amount of dry lubricant.

Markings appear faded or dirty

Clean the surface gently with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that might strip the ink.

Wood appears slightly warped

Check storage conditions to ensure the tool is kept in a low-humidity environment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-grade joints ensure smooth operation
  • Sturdy wooden construction offers long-lasting durability
  • Clear, double-sided metric markings
  • Compact folding design saves space in tool belts
  • Resistant to the "kinking" common in flexible tape measures

Cons

  • Does not have a locking mechanism like steel tapes
  • Not intended for measuring long vertical spans without support
  • Susceptible to moisture damage if submerged or stored improperly
  • Requires manual folding which is slower than retracting tapes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No setup is required for this product; simply unfold the rule to your desired length. To ensure the longevity of your GTV wooden rule, keep it away from excessive moisture, which can cause the wood to warp or the joints to rust. Periodically wipe the rule with a dry cloth to remove sawdust or debris. If the joints feel stiff over time, applying a tiny amount of dry lubricant can maintain the smooth folding action. Always store in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the wood and the precision of the markings.
