Hultafors Contact-Meter folding rule that stays flat on the surface reversed graduation

Have you ever had trouble measuring with a classical folding rule flat to the surface? The Contact-Meter has reversed graduation and is always in contact with the surface, even when you measure short distances.
The Contact-Meter has long been a bit of a hidden gem in our range of folding rules. Why is it so special, you might wonder? Well, on the Contact-Meter the metric scale is printed on the opposite side of the sticks compared to a standard folding rule. This enables you to place it flat against a surface, even when it’s not completely folded out, which makes it easier to measure with good precision. And that’s how it got its name, the tool is in contact with the surface
