Description

This folding wooden ruler opens out to a full metre, then folds back down into a neat stick that slips into a drawer or a tool bag. It belongs to the Spirit of Adventure range and has the honest workshop look of a traditional carpenter's rule, with pale natural wood, crisp black markings and every tenth centimetre picked out in red. It is double-sided, with centimetres along one face and inches along the other, so you can switch between metric and imperial simply by turning it over. Opened out, it measures 100cm long, 1.6cm wide and 0.7cm thick.

Because it folds, a full metre of measuring goes wherever you need it: the shed, the workshop, the sewing table or the home office drawer. It is handy for measuring up shelves, checking a gap before buying furniture, marking out fabric or planning a garden bed, and the inch side is there for older patterns and plans written in imperial. Folded, it is just 24cm long, 1.6cm wide and 1.7cm deep, and at only 59g it sits happily in a toolbox, a craft bag or a satchel.

The wooden sections are joined by metal hinges that lock in place as you fold and unfold them, so each length holds straight while you measure and closes back up neatly afterwards. Open it out one section at a time rather than forcing it, and fold it away when you have finished. Wood prefers to stay dry, so wipe it with a soft dry cloth after use and keep it away from damp. It makes a thoughtful small present for anyone who likes to make, mend or plan, and it looks just as good resting on a desk as it does in a toolbox.
