Product Information

Full details

The Stabila Type 1107 folding rule is a heavy-duty, professional-grade measuring tool designed for contractors and tradespeople who frequently work in wet or damp environments. Its primary benefit is its exceptional durability and resistance to moisture, provided by a glass-fiber reinforced plastic construction that outperforms traditional wooden rulers in harsh conditions. However, users should note that as a plastic-based tool, it lacks the classic aesthetic and tactile feel of traditional beech wood models.

Is this ruler waterproof?

Does this rule have inch markings?

What is the accuracy class of this rule?

The Stabila Type 1107 complies with Accuracy Class III standards.

Can I use this for professional surveying?

It is designed for construction and trade measurements, meeting European MID directives for professional use.

How long is the rule when fully extended?

The rule extends to a total length of 2 meters.

Are the markings prone to fading?

No, the scale is deeply embossed into the plastic material, ensuring it remains readable even after heavy abrasion.

Troubleshooting

Joints feel stiff or difficult to open

Work the joints back and forth several times to loosen the steel springs, or apply a tiny amount of dry lubricant spray.

Rule does not lay perfectly flat

Ensure all joints are fully extended until they click; if debris is lodged in the hinge, blow it out with compressed air.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Impervious to water and dampness
  • High-impact, glass-fiber reinforced plastic body
  • Sturdy steel spring joints for lasting tension
  • Clear, deeply embossed markings
  • Compact and lightweight for transport

Cons

  • Plastic material lacks the rigidity of premium wood
  • Spring joints may feel stiff when brand new
  • No imperial/inch markings included

Setup, Compatibility & Care

This tool requires no special setup—simply unfold and begin measuring. To ensure maximum longevity, wipe the rule clean after use in muddy or dusty environments. While the plastic is durable, avoid using it as a prying tool or a hammer, as extreme leverage can stress the steel springs. Store the rule in a dry place when not in use to maintain the spring tension over long periods, though the material itself is highly moisture-resistant. No calibration is required as it conforms to Accuracy Class III standards out of the box.
