Product Information
Full details
The Stahlwille 13120 folding ruler is designed for professional carpenters, woodworkers, and tradespeople who require high-precision measurements in a durable, non-conductive format. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-quality beech wood construction with a patented 90-degree locking mechanism, ensuring stability during complex layout tasks. A potential caveat for some users is that while the beech wood is sturdy, it lacks the extreme flexibility and moisture resistance found in modern plastic or fiberglass alternatives, requiring users to keep it dry to prevent warping over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This folding ruler requires no complex setup; simply unfold to the desired length. To ensure long-term performance, avoid exposing the wood to damp or humid environments. If the ruler becomes dirty, clean it with a slightly damp cloth and wipe it dry immediately. Do not use chemical solvents on the black lacquer finish, as this may compromise the visibility of the markings. When not in use, store the tool in a dry, cool area away from direct sunlight to prevent the beech wood from drying out or becoming brittle over time.
