Benefits
- Easy to carry: The compact casing, belt clip and lanyard make the tape convenient for mobile work.
- Quick measurements: The retractable blade can be extended, read and returned efficiently.
- Accurate marking: Fine 1mm graduations make it easier to transfer measurements to the workpiece.

- Protected storage: The blade retracts into the ABS casing to help reduce exposure to damage when not in use.
Application
- General measuring and marking
- DIY and household projects
- Construction and installation work
- Workshop and fabrication tasks
- Woodworking and furniture projects
- Measuring timber, boards, panels and components
- Checking distances, lengths, widths and heights
Extra Information
- The tape has a maximum measuring length of 3 metres and a blade width of 16mm.
- The steel blade is marked with metric graduations in 1mm increments.
- The tape is classified as a Class II measuring instrument for general-purpose measuring applications.
- Use the standard end hook against the edge of the material when taking outside measurements.
- Keep the blade clean and dry to help preserve the printed graduations and retraction mechanism.
Pro Tips
- Keep the blade straight and level with the surface being measured to reduce reading errors.
- Use a sharp pencil or fine marking tool when transferring precise measurements onto a workpiece.
- For longer measurements, ask another person to hold the hook or secure it carefully against the starting edge.
- Allow the blade to retract in a controlled manner rather than letting it snap rapidly into the casing.
- Measure from the same reference edge throughout a project to help maintain consistent results.
How to Use
- Inspect the casing, blade, hook and retraction mechanism before use.
- Position the standard hook against the starting edge of the material or workpiece.
- Pull the casing away from the starting point while extending the blade to the required distance.
- Keep the blade straight, flat and aligned with the direction of measurement.
- Read the measurement at the required endpoint using the 1mm metric graduations.
- Mark the measurement clearly before moving the tape.
- Release the blade control and guide the blade back into the casing slowly and carefully.
- Store the tape in a dry location or attach it securely using the belt clip or lanyard.

Safety
- Always use the correct measuring tool for the job and inspect it before use.
- Do not allow the blade to retract uncontrollably, as the hook or blade edge may cause injury or damage.
- Keep fingers clear of the blade opening while the tape is retracting.
- Do not deliberately bend, twist or sharply fold the steel blade.
- Be aware that damaged steel blade edges may become sharp and should not be handled directly.
- Do not use the measuring tape near exposed live electrical conductors.
- Use appropriate personal protective equipment when measuring in construction, fabrication or workshop environments.
- Follow all safety procedures and instructions shown on the product packaging.
