Perfect Measuring Tape FR-72 Folding Rule - 6.5ft/2m Carpenter's Ruler with Easy-Read Fractions

Precision you can rely on: the FR-72 Folding Rule

The Perfect Measuring Tape FR-72 is a folding carpenter's ruler designed to accompany professionals and DIY enthusiasts through everyday tasks. Built by an American family business since 1912, it blends heritage with modern materials for a tool that's both reliable and approachable.

Smart features that matter

Among the standout details are easy-read inch fractions, durable construction, and thoughtful design choices that reduce fatigue and improve accuracy in real work. The bottom split-scale shows metric alongside dual inch readings for quick cross-checks.

• Easy-read fractions (1/8, 1/4, 1/2, plus 1/32 and 1/16 for early and later ranges) to speed up layout and marking without squinting.
• Durable rivets and stainless springs pair with a fiberglass-reinforced composite ABS body for lasting performance and crisp markings (engraved and printed).
• Compact, snag-free silhouette at 9.5" x 1.5" x 0.5" with smooth internal hinges that resist catching on tools.
• Inches + metric: top-side large inch numbers with fractions; bottom scale combines metric for cross-checks.
• Foldable design doubles as a depth gauge, letting you take standing measurements without a long rod.

Versatility in action

Whether you’re laying out a tile pattern, trimming trim, or checking cabinet dimensions, the FR-72 adapts to wet environments, masonry, woodwork, and hobby projects. Its compact size fits neatly in a tool bag, while the durable construction stands up to daily use.

• Versatile for carpentry, masonry, tile work, hardwood, DIY projects, and hobbyists.
• Effective in damp or underwater-like conditions thanks to its rugged materials and reliable springs.

To get the most from this folding rule, extend it to the required length, consult the fractional and metric scales, then fold back for storage or to use as a depth gauge. The result is a practical, all-around measuring companion that respects both accuracy and convenience.
