A VAS 5160 Telescopic Measuring Stick a professional measuring device developed specifically for assessing damage to body parts, accurately determining structural damage, and verifying dimensions after straightening processes. This instrument offers an ideal solution for precise measurement tasks, especially in hard-to-reach areas where the use of conventional measuring tools is limited.
As part of the workshop equipment recommendations from Volkswagen AG, the VAS 5160 guarantees a high level of accuracy and reliability during body repair work.
The design of the VAS 5160 telescopic measuring stick enables extremely precise measurements, even at the most critical points:
Damage Assessment and Structural Inspection: Excellently suited for checking the structural integrity of the body and assessing post-accident damage.
Hard-to-Reach Points: Specially designed measuring tips allow measurements to be taken even in areas between tight surfaces or from hard-to-reach angles.
Determining Hole Distances: The included measuring template (measuring stylus) facilitates the precise determination of the distances between hole centers.
Secure Setting: The knurled screws found on the measuring rod holders prevent accidental shifting or alteration of the tube settings during measurement, ensuring the stability of the measurement results.
Excellent Material Quality: The combination of aluminum (Alu) and plastic (Kunststoff) ensures easy handling while also guaranteeing the durability of the structure.
