This is the only place, except for ebay, I have been able to find an inside folding ruler. It's nice to know that there are some remains from "old school" wood workers.

The Lufkin 066F 6-(FOOT)FLAT READ WOOD FOLDING RULE, is a wonderful measuring device. It, like other flat, folding rules, will not bend, as metal-extention rules will. It is easily carried, and easily stored.

My dad had one of these. Unfortunately, my sister and I -- both under 10 years of age at the time -- not realizing it WAS, in fact, a TOOL, got a hold of it, and turned it into a TOY! We bent the ruler into a hexagagon shape, and turned it into a headpiece of sorts. We bent it into one small piece and one long piece, and turned it into a pretend fishing rod. We turned it into a shorter piece, resembling a "crook and flail", and pretended we were Egyptian queens! We bent it forward and back, inward and out, back and forth, into smaller and larger parts. Until...................you guessed it, the hinges broke, and we had two short pieces, instead of one long 6 foot hinged ruler!

So, my advice is: if you have creative chidren -- either girls or boys -- around the house, put this Folding Rule(r), AWAY, where they cannot get at it. Or....buy them their own!

Strong and reliable. I like that as you fold / unfold each section they 'snap' into place. I have used other folding wooden rules that as they get older tend to 'flop around', this model is much better.
