Measuring Tape AWTools AW27201 — Fiberglass blade 20 m, compact case

AWTools AW27201 — Fiberglass blade 20 m, compact case is a 20-meter measuring tape built for on-site distance measurement where a long, flexible, and non-stretch material is required. The fiberglass (fiber) blade resists stretching and moisture better than cloth tapes, while the compact protective case offers convenient handling and storage for construction, landscaping and surveying tasks. This measuring tape is suitable for both outdoor and indoor work where accurate measurement of distances, perimeters and layouts is needed.

Advantages

The fiberglass blade provides stable length measurement without the stretch typical of textile tapes, improving repeatability for layout and distance checks. The 20 m length covers larger spans without the need for joining tapes, and the compact case protects the blade from dirt and damage while enabling comfortable carrying and single-hand operation. The design is straightforward and durable, aimed at professional and amateur users who need a reliable long measuring tape for varied site conditions.

Suitable for

• Measuring long distances on construction sites
• Layout and perimeter measurement in landscaping
• Surveying and site marking tasks
• Indoor measurements of large rooms, halls and storage areas

Key specifications

• Blade material: fiberglass (fiber)
• Blade length: 20 m
• Case type: compact protective case for storage and handling
• Intended use: outdoor and indoor distance measurement
• Measurement units: standard metric graduations on blade

How to use

Pull the fiberglass blade from the case to the required length and hold the tape steady at the end point or hook it if the tape has an end attachment. Keep the blade straight and free of twists to ensure accurate reading of the metric graduations. After measuring, retract the blade back into the case carefully to avoid kinking or rapid recoil that could damage the blade or case. Store the tape in a dry place and clean off heavy dirt before retraction to prolong service life.

Usage recommendations

For accurate long-distance measurement, support the blade at intermittent points when measuring across large spans to reduce sagging. Avoid exposure to prolonged direct sunlight or harsh chemicals to preserve blade markings and material integrity. Inspect the blade before use for nicks or severe wear and replace the tape if the graduations become unreadable.
