Product Information

Full details

The Hultafors Folding Rule G64-1-4-18VI is designed for tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable and versatile measuring tool. Its key benefit is the ability to quickly switch between metric and imperial measurements, all within a durable, compact design. While highly robust, its four-fold structure means it extends to 1 meter, which might be limiting for very long measurements.

FAQs

What materials is the Hultafors G64-1-4-18VI made from?

The rule is constructed from hard-wearing ABS plastic with brass-hinged pins.

What are the measurement units available?

It features both metric and imperial graduations on both sides of the rule.

What is the maximum length of the rule when unfolded?

The rule unfolds to a maximum length of 1 meter.

Is this rule suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, the hard-wearing ABS plastic is designed for job site durability, including exposure to typical outdoor conditions. However, it's best to keep it clean and dry when not in use.

How durable are the markings?

The graduations are precisely inscribed, making them clearly visible and resistant to wear from professional use.

Can I use this for precise architectural measurements?

While accurate for general tasks, for highly specialized architectural work requiring extreme precision over longer distances, a dedicated measuring tape or laser measure might be more suitable due to the 1-meter limit and folding nature.

Troubleshooting

Rule feels stiff when folding/unfolding.

Check the brass hinges for debris. Clean them with a soft brush and apply a small amount of silicone lubricant if necessary.

Graduations are difficult to read.

Ensure the rule is clean. The inscribed graduations are designed for clarity, but dirt can obscure them. Wipe with a damp cloth.

Rule does not stay extended firmly.

This model relies on friction in the hinges. Ensure hinges are clean and properly tensioned. If significantly loose after cleaning, contact support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable construction built for professional use.
  • Dual metric and imperial scales for convenience.
  • Compact and portable design.
  • Smooth and reliable hinge action.
  • Clear and long-lasting measurement markings.

Cons

  • Maximum measurement length is 1 meter.
  • May not be suitable for very large-scale projects requiring longer measurements.
  • Plastic construction, while durable, may not appeal to those preferring metal tools.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This folding rule requires no setup. Simply unfold it to your desired length.

Compatibility: The rule is universally compatible with standard measurement tasks, offering both metric and imperial scales.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Clean Regularly: Wipe the rule with a damp cloth after use to remove dust and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  2. Inspect Hinges: Periodically check the brass hinges for smooth operation. A light application of lubricant (e.g., silicone spray) can be used if stiffness occurs.
  3. Storage: Store the rule in a dry place, ideally in a tool belt pouch or toolbox to protect it from damage.
