Vintage Lufkin X46 Red End 72" Extension Folding Wood Rule — Made in USA Carpenter's Classic Here is the iconic  Lufkin X46 "Red End" 6-foot extension folding wood rule  — the gold standard of vintage folding rules and one of the most actively collected vintage measuring tools on the market. Lufkin's Red End line is immediately recognizable by the  red-highlighted footage marks  at each 16" interval (16", 32", 48", 64") — the stud-spacing reference that made this rule a favorite on framing job sites for generations of American carpenters. The  X46  designation identifies this as the  extension model  — featuring a  brass slide rule built into one segment  that extends up to 6" for accurate inside measurements between walls, in door frames, and in cabinet openings where the end of the rule can't reach. This critical feature made the X46 the preferred rule for finish carpenters, cabinetmakers, and trim installers who needed both standard layout and inside measurement capability in one tool. The wood segments are graduated to  1/16" on both sides and both edges , with  bold red and black markings  on a natural wood background — Lufkin's hallmark combination of clarity and durability. Brass end clasps and joint plates provide wear resistance at every fold point. The rule extends to a full  72" / 6 feet  and folds compactly for tool belt or apron pocket carry. Whether you're a  working carpenter  who prefers the precision and rigidity of a folding rule over a flexible tape, a  vintage tool collector  building a Lufkin collection, or a  woodworker  who appreciates authentic period tools, the Lufkin X46 Red End is the definitive example of American measuring tool craftsmanship.
