Tape measure AWTools AW27133 — 16 mm width, 114 g weight

AWTools AW27133 — 16 mm width, 114 g weight is a compact tape measure designed for general measuring tasks in carpentry, construction and DIY. The housing is made of impact‑resistant ABS plastic with a TPR coating for improved grip and shock protection. The tape is a 16 mm white steel blade with a nylon coating and metric graduations; it is abrasion‑resistant and treated for use in varying weather conditions. The tool is lightweight (114 g), portable and equipped with features that support precise length measurement and ease of handling.

Advantages

The AWTools AW27133 combines a narrow 16 mm blade with a reinforced end hook secured by rivets for reliable anchoring on edges and profiles. A tape rewind locking mechanism and two stop buttons allow controlled retraction and secure locking of the blade at any position. The nylon coating on the steel tape increases resistance to wear and the TPR‑coated ABS body improves grip and drop protection. Additional practical elements include a belt clip and a wristband for convenient carrying and quick access.

Suitable for

• Carpentry work such as measuring boards, frames and joinery
• Construction site measurements for layout and quick checks
• Domestic DIY projects and furniture assembly
• Indoor and outdoor measurement tasks where a narrow, durable tape is sufficient

How to use

Pull the tape out from the housing to the required length and secure it by engaging one of the stop buttons or the rewind locking mechanism to hold the blade in place. Hook the reinforced end on the measured surface for stable positioning, read the metric graduation at eye level and record the measurement. Release the lock to retract the tape; the rewind mechanism will retract the blade smoothly. Use the belt clip or wristband to keep the tape measure accessible during work.

Usage recommendations

For accurate readings, align the tape flat along the measured surface and keep the tape under tension when measuring long distances. Avoid allowing the blade to retract uncontrolled to prevent damage to the nylon coating and end hook. Clean the tape after exposure to dirt, sand or moisture and store the tool in a dry place to preserve the nylon coating and mechanical parts.
