Product Information

Full details

This 2-meter folding metric rule from Wiha is designed for professionals needing precise measurements in various environments. Its durable, scratch, weather, and chemical-resistant construction ensures longevity, while the 90° latching joints offer flexibility and stability. A potential caveat is the metric-only scale, which may require conversion for imperial-based tasks. Key features include its robust fiberglass-reinforced nylon build, clear embossed scale, and a play-free, wear-free joint mechanism.

FAQs

What is the warranty period for this rule?

Specific warranty information is best obtained from the retailer at the time of purchase, as it can vary. Wiha generally offers robust warranties on their tools.

Can I use this rule for outdoor measurements?

Yes, the rule is designed to be weather-resistant, making it suitable for outdoor use.

Is the scale printed or embossed?

The scale is embossed into the material, providing superior durability against wear compared to printed scales.

What material is the rule made from?

The rule is made from fiberglass-reinforced nylon, which offers a balance of strength, flexibility, and resistance to chemicals.

What is Accuracy Class III?

Accuracy Class III is a European standard for measuring instruments, indicating a certain level of permissible error for length measurements. It is suitable for general-purpose use.

How do I convert metric measurements to imperial?

To convert millimeters (mm) to inches, divide the metric measurement by 25.4. For example, 100mm / 25.4 = 3.94 inches.

Troubleshooting

Joints are stiff or difficult to latch.

Ensure the joints are clean and free of debris. A small amount of dry lubricant, like graphite powder, can be applied to the joint mechanism if necessary.

Markings are becoming difficult to read.

Gently clean the surface with a damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals that could further degrade the markings. Check for significant wear on frequently used sections.

Rule sections do not stay extended.

Verify that the 90° latching mechanism is fully engaged. If the spring tension seems low, the internal spring pin may require adjustment or replacement by a qualified technician.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable and resistant to environmental factors.
  • Clear, easy-to-read metric markings.
  • Versatile for various measurement angles.
  • Smooth, consistent joint operation.
  • Compact and portable for fieldwork.

Cons

  • Metric scale only, not suitable for direct imperial measurements.
  • May be bulkier than tape measures for very long distances.
  • The white color might show dirt more readily than darker alternatives.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Wiha Folding Metre Rule requires no setup. Simply unfold it to the desired length and lock the joints into place using the 90° latching mechanism. To fold, release the latches and collapse the sections.

Compatibility: This rule is universally compatible with metric measurement systems. It does not require any power source or software.

Care: To maintain the rule's performance and appearance:

  1. Wipe clean with a damp cloth after use. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Keep the joints free of debris. A soft brush can be used to clear dirt from the spring-pin mechanism.
  3. Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use to prevent material degradation.
  4. Avoid dropping the rule from significant heights, as this could damage the joints or hinges.
