Stabila Folding Rules

Stabila Folding Rules for Masons and Engineers

Stabila folding rules fold into a compact stick and open into a rigid rule that stays straight across an opening. This collection holds seven products. The Type 600 line comes in mason's, modular 1/16th scale, and oversize 1/16th scale versions, each also sold as a 6-foot 3-pack. An engineer's folding ruler rounds out the set. Masons use the brick scales to lay out courses without converting measurements.

What to Look For

  • Scale. Match the scale to the masonry unit: modular spacing for modular brick, oversize brick for larger units.
  • Mason's or engineer's. The mason's rule suits brick and block. The engineer's rule suits general measuring.
  • Pack size. 3-packs keep a spare on hand and outfit a crew.

Order Stabila folding rules from The Tool Nut, an authorized dealer since 1994, with free shipping on most orders and rewards points on every purchase.

Stabila Folding Rules FAQ

Why use a folding rule instead of a tape?

A folding rule stays rigid when extended, so one person can reach across a gap, take inside measurements, or check a course height without the blade sagging. Mason's scales also read courses directly.

Which scale do I need for brick?

Choose the modular spacing rule for modular brick and the oversize rule for oversize brick. If you lay both, buy one of each, or the 3-packs for a crew.
