About this deal

I am not an expert on tools. I have used some of the tools represented in the Tison Tool Barn, though perhaps not very well. I do enjoy digging around to find out more about the tools, and hope that some of you share my interest in the old tools collected in the Tison Tool Barn. I have been a volunteer at the Matheson History Museum. Feeling an affinity with old hand tools (some of which I remember from my youth), I have tried to learn more about the history of the tools in the Tison Tool Barn, and how they were used.

Once the strips are opened out they can usually be fixed into place, which creates a long rigid rule. This wood is very tough and hard and considered as the best for a wooden folding rule. The hinges are of Swedish steel, the rivets are not visible and oiled durable. The accuracy is according to EC-class III, = +-1 mm per 1m and +-1.4 mm per 2m. The tape measure has replaced the folding rule for many uses. However, the latter still maintains its position for some purposes, such as construction, where rigid long measuring instruments may be preferred over flexible ones.

The shape of the tape in spring measures makes it difficult to lie the tape flat against a surface, making readings less accurate Folding rules can also be used to measure a point which is difficult to reach. They can be extended out to form long, rigid pieces which can reach across or up without bending very much. Some folding rules can be extended to up to 3000 mm (120″) long, depending on individual rules.

Some folding rules also have other markings, depending on their intended use.

What is a folding rule? - Wonkee Donkee Tools

Our folding rules are made by HULTAFORS in Sweden from a slowly growing birch near the Arctic circle.Wooden rules can change shape if they are exposed to moisture for a long time, making them inaccurate. Some plastic rules can be easily damaged along their straight edge. Steel rules may rust Folding rules, sometimes called zig-zag rules or jointed rules, are a series of two or more smaller rule strips joined with hinges. These rules can be folded together to be carried easily, or used in confined spaces. They can also be folded out and used to measure longer distances or take measurements that are further away and difficult to reach.
