Measuring tape BRADAS DIY-MH13-02013M/CB 20 m retractable steel tape, compact casing

BRADAS DIY-MH13-02013M/CB is a 20 m retractable steel measuring tape in a compact casing designed for general measuring tasks in construction, renovation and home DIY. The robust steel tape delivers stable straightness over long spans while the retractable mechanism and housing provide secure storage and easy portability. The tool is built for routine length measurements where a combination of reach, durability and simple handling is required.

Advantages

The steel measuring tape provides reliable accuracy and resists stretching during repeated use, while the 20 m length allows measurement of large rooms, terraces or building elements without joining tapes. The compact casing reduces bulk in the tool bag and protects the tape from dirt and impact. The retractable mechanism returns the tape smoothly into the housing for fast one‑handed operation and safer storage. Materials and construction emphasize practical durability for both professional and amateur use.

Suitable for

• Measuring room dimensions and floor layouts during renovations
• On‑site construction tasks such as marking foundations, walls and openings
• Measuring exterior elements like fences, facades and driveways
• DIY furniture placement and interior planning
• Any job requiring portable long‑range distance measurement

Key specifications

• Measuring length: 20 metres
• Tape material: steel
• Casing: compact, impact‑resistant design
• Retraction: spring‑loaded retractable mechanism
• Markings: clear metric graduations for easy reading

How to use

Extend the tape to the required length by pulling the hook end and secure the hook to the reference edge or have an assistant hold it in place. Read the measurement at the tape housing or the nearest marking, keeping the tape straight and free of kinks for accurate results. Use the retraction button or lever to return the tape into the casing, controlling speed with your hand if necessary to avoid rapid recoil. Store the tool in a dry place and keep the hook and tape free from heavy dirt to maintain readable graduations.

Usage recommendations

For best accuracy, avoid bending the tape during long spans and retract the tape slowly to protect the tip and spring mechanism. Regularly clean the tape surface and inspect the hook for deformation; replace the tape if markings become worn and illegible.
