Contact-Meter rule is made of fiber glass reinforced polyamide, which makes it resistant to moisture and wetness. Making it highly durable and with a long service life. The Contact-Meter rule facilitates especially shorter measurements as the metric scale starts on the inside of the first stick. Which means that the part of the folding rule that is folded then ends up on top of the stick and not below as with a regular folding rule. Metric gradation with centimeters /millimeters on both sides and red decimeter marking 

Lies flat against the work surface.
