It stands up on its own, which is what a tape cannot do · review
A 3 m (10 ft) beech rule with an angle scale printed into the joints, so it marks and sets angles as well as lengths — the one function a plain rule cannot do at all.
What the figures leave us with The rule that answers a second question. Worth the premium if you regularly need an angle and do not carry a bevel.
A folding rule that has been given the one job a folding rule is uniquely placed to do.
An integrated angle scale allowing angles to be measured and marked as well as lengths. Beech construction, stated as particularly stable and long-lasting. A joint described as folding easily while remaining firmly in position when open. Length 3 m (10 ft). EC accuracy class III, stated as suited to general trade work.
A folding rule is already a hinge. Two segments opened against each other form an angle, and the only thing missing is a scale to read it off. Every other way of getting an angle onto a workpiece — a bevel gauge, a protractor, a digital gauge — is a second tool to carry, set and lose.
Read at the joint by eye, this is a coarse instrument. Setting a mitre for a visible joint, or checking a machine table, calls for a digital angle gauge with a published figure. This is for marking a rafter, checking a corner, and copying an angle that already exists.
Catalogued and unsold: the American Amazon shop lists the reference with nobody behind it.

Graduations printed around the joint let you open two segments to a marked angle and read it directly. PRESCH states the scale allows angles to be measured and marked, not just lengths.
No. It is read by eye off a printed scale at a joint, which is a coarser instrument than a digital angle gauge or a bevel. It is a rule that also does angles, and that is the right expectation.
PRESCH states EC accuracy class III, the same marking as the Stanley and Meister rules here.

3 m (10 ft) beech · 15 segments · EC class III · extra-large tens
Three meters of beech in fifteen segments, marked to EC class III, with extra-large tens figures for reading at arm's length and a double scale along both edges.
Best for: The default building-site rule: three meters, legible, and cheap enough to replace without thinking.
Five rules · 2 m (7 ft) each · ABS joints, PC body · folds to 230 mm (9.06 in)
Five 2 m (7 ft) plastic rules in one pack: a PC body on ABS connectors, ten segments folding to 230 mm (9.06 in), in white with a black scale. The set to buy when rules keep disappearing.
Best for: A workshop, a van and a shed each keeping their own rule, at the price of one wooden one.
2 m (7 ft) beech · quick-read scale · angle scheme · polyamide joints
The most expensive rule here, and the only one specified as a marking tool: glass-fiber reinforced polyamide joints, a scribing function with a continuous straight edge when unfolded, PEFC beech and a quick-read scale.
Best for: Someone who marks against their rule all day and wants one that stays straight while doing it.
