For a device made of wood, the so-called Schwedenmeter is astoundingly flexible, which it owes to the choice of wood, namely the downy birch from the north of Sweden. Then come the hinges made of Swedish steel, and the easy to move sections that click open and shut without compromising the legibility of the scale with an annoying rivet.
