7. B600 or B700: How do the wooden folding rulers differ?
Material and processing
Both the B600 and the B700 are made of high-quality glass birch wood, which is valued for its robustness, durability and sustainability. Nevertheless, there are differences in the processing and construction that optimize them for different purposes:
- B600: The B600 is slightly wider and therefore offers a high level of stability. It is ideal as a folding rule for craftsmen who need a particularly sturdy tool for precise measurements on the construction site or for larger projects.
- B700: At just 2.9 cm wide, the B700 is significantly narrower and therefore more flexible and bendable. This feature makes it particularly popular with carpenters, joiners and other woodworkers who rely on precise and agile tools.
💡 Good to know: The narrower design of the B700 folding rule ensures increased elasticity and facilitates precise work even in hard-to-reach places.
The differences between the two models are also reflected in their preferred areas of application:
- B600: Ideal for construction and scaffolding where stability and precise measurements are required. Thanks to the robust design, the folding rule retains its shape even with intensive use.
- B700: Perfect for specialist woodworking trades such as carpenters and joiners. The combination of slim design and increased flexibility makes it an indispensable tool for detailed work.
💡 Tip:Before buying, consider whether you prefer a flexible tool for delicate work or a sturdy one for demanding construction sites.
While the B600 folding rule is particularly popular in the building trade and for heavy craft projects due to its wider construction and concealed metal fittings, the B700 folding rule is aimed at carpenters, joiners and professionals who need a lighter and more flexible tool.
- B600 – the robust classic: A tool for professionals who value stability and precision without compromising on durability.
