Key specifications

• Blade length: 3 metres
• Case material: metallic casing for impact resistance
• Finish: high-visibility yellow
• Graduation type: metric markings with clear contrast
• Form factor: compact and lightweight housing

How to use

Pull the blade from the housing until the desired length is reached and align the hook with the reference point. Read the measurement from the blade at the point where it meets the case edge. Retract the blade slowly using the retraction mechanism to avoid uncontrolled snapping. Use the end hook to anchor the tape on edges or surfaces for one-person measurements and ensure the blade remains straight for accurate reading.

Recommendations

Store the tape measure in a dry place and avoid dropping it from height to preserve casing integrity and blade accuracy. Clean the blade regularly to remove debris that could obscure graduations. For precise work, verify measurements by taking multiple readings and keep the end hook free of dirt or damage to maintain correct zero reference.
