Wooden Folding Rule - Sola PBM 2/10W, 2 m, with Angle Scale, 53360633

Sola PBM 2/10W Wooden Folding Rule, 2 m

The Sola PBM 2/10W (item no. 53360633) is a 2 m folding rule from the Austrian measuring tool manufacturer Sola. It is made of selected beech wood, lacquered white and divided into 10 sections. Among the wooden folding rules in Sola's catalogue, this is the only model with an 8° to 150° angle scale and a 90° lock at the joint, so it measures angles as well as lengths.

Beech wood and protective coating

Sola chooses beech wood for its high degree of hardness and strength. The sections are 3.2 mm thick and finished with a white protective coating which, according to the manufacturer, is highly abrasion-resistant, dirt-repellent and moisture-resistant. The graduations are in millimetres and centimetres and are printed on both sides of the rule.

Angle scale and 90° lock

An angle scale covering 8° to 150° is printed on the third and fourth sections. The manufacturer designed it for quickly reading and transferring angle measurements without reaching for a separate angle tool. The joint of the rule locks at 90°, which Sola states explicitly in the data for this model.

Inboard joints of hardened spring steel

The joints are made of hardened spring steel, which Sola describes as wear-free and designed for a long service life. They sit inside the sections, so the graduations continue without interruption across every joint. The rule carries EC accuracy class III, as stated in the manufacturer's catalogue.

Identification data

In Sola's catalogue the model is listed under item number 53360633 with EAN barcode 9002719046394. These two numbers distinguish it unambiguously from the brand's other 2 m folding rules with 10 sections, which share the same designation format (2/10) but have no angle scale.

Use and packaging

The PBM 2/10W is intended for measuring lengths up to 2 m and for reading and transferring angles within the range of the printed scale. The manufacturer supplies it in self-service (SB) packaging.
