We have the coils too, except we call it a measuring tape.

We also have have a flexible soft version used for measuring human proportions for clothing, but it's called a "tape measure" for some reason.

I wish we had the foldable kind, that sounds useful.

Ironically the 2m folding rulers are called "inch-stick" in German
