The Folding Banana Ruler
We've all been there. You need a Banana for Scale, but the object you're measuring is an absolute unit. Do you buy a bigger banana? Stack them into a wobbly fruit column of shame? Accept defeat and move on with your life?
No. You fold out.
The internet's most beloved scale reference, reimagined as the craftsman's most beloved hand tool. Precision-engineered to solve the measurement crisis humanity has been collectively ignoring since the early days of Reddit.
(It also doubles as a bottle opener if you hold it right. You're welcome.)
Why You Need This In Your Life:
Infinite Appeal (and Peel)
Satisfying 45° locking joints for precise, multi-angle fruit deployment. Horizontal, vertical, some cursed diagonal situation — you're covered. Scale responsibly.
Extends to 7 Bananas
One banana was a placeholder. Seven bananas is a lifestyle. Unfold this bad boy and finally settle the debate about that fish you definitely caught.
Zollstock Meets Dank
Built in the proud tradition of the German folding ruler — the Gliedermaßstab(colloquial Zollstock) — with all its tactile, bottle-opening capabilities. Now with 100% more potassium.
Forget metric. Forget imperial. The future of measurement is yellow, it clicks into place, and it's been here all along — just waiting to be printed.
The banana was the standard. It always was.
Requirements/Assembly:
The ruler requires:
- 6x M3x6 Socket Head Screws
- 12-24x Smooth Ball Spring Plunger
When installing place the plungers into the recesses.

Two on opposing sides are fine but if you need more “holding power” you can insert up to four!
When done screw in the M3x6 screw. Don't overtighten! Screw in until the screw tops out and reverse quarter turn.
