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.

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.
