Lufkin TX46N Folding Rule 1/16 Inch Graduation Wood

Product Description

The LUFKIN TX46N is a wood folding rule designed for layout and measurement tasks on job sites and in trade applications. It folds compactly for easy storage in a tool belt or apron and extends for accurate linear measurement. The rule features 1/16 inch graduation markings, giving tradespeople the precision needed for rough framing, finish work, plumbing rough-in, and general construction layout. Constructed from wood with a brown finish, it measures 0.625 inches wide and is packaged as a single unit. Folding rules of this type are standard hand tools for carpenters, HVAC installers, plumbers, and electricians who need a rigid, readable measuring option.

The TX46N suits residential and light commercial construction and service work. It is well suited for measuring duct openings, pipe runs, stud spacing, conduit layout, and similar tasks where a tape measure may be less convenient. The compact folded dimensions make it easy to carry and store on busy job sites. This rule ships as a single unit and is intended for individual trade professional use or as a replacement for a worn or damaged folding rule.

Inspect joints and locking mechanisms before each use to ensure accurate, fully extended readings. Store away from prolonged moisture exposure to prevent warping.
