Tape measure Beta Tools 1691BM-10 — 10 m length, 32 mm blade width

Beta Tools 1691BM-10 is a 10 m tape measure with a 32 mm blade width designed for general measuring tasks in construction, carpentry and DIY. The compact, robust housing and retractable steel blade provide single-handed operation and quick rewinding, making it suitable for both site work and interior measurements where a durable, long-reach measuring tape is required.

Advantages

The 32 mm blade offers improved rigidity for extended reach and accurate straight-line measurements. A compact housing reduces bulk in the toolbox while delivering protection against impacts typical on working sites. The retractable mechanism ensures fast and controlled blade return, and metric graduations on the blade provide straightforward reading and marking. The tape combines length and portability to cover a wide range of measuring tasks without frequent repositioning.

Suitable for

• Measuring distances and dimensions on construction sites
• Carpentry, joinery and cabinetmaking layout tasks
• Interior measurements for fitting and planning
• DIY projects that require long-reach measurement

Key specifications

• Length: 10 metres
• Blade width: 32 millimetres
• Blade material: hardened steel (retractable)
• Graduation: metric scale for easy reading and marking
• Housing: compact, impact-resistant design for site use
• Operation: single-handed measurement and quick rewind

How to use

Hook the tape end onto the edge or object to be measured and extend the blade to the required length. Use the compact housing for stabilising the instrument with one hand while reading the metric graduation on the blade. Retract the blade by engaging the rewind mechanism in a controlled manner to avoid rapid retraction; guide the blade back into the housing with your hand if necessary. For longer reaches, use the blade rigidity to maintain a straight line and take measurements from fixed reference points.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape in a dry place and avoid exposing the blade to corrosive substances. Inspect the hook and blade before use and replace the tape if the blade shows severe wear, kinks or loss of graduation visibility. When measuring long distances, stabilise both ends to reduce sag and improve accuracy.
