Tape measure EPM Inox 3 m × 16 mm, model E-400-0247

Steel tape measure EPM Inox 3 m × 16 mm, model E-400-0247 is a compact measuring tool designed for general measuring tasks in construction, carpentry and DIY. The 3-metre blade and 16 mm width provide clear graduations for linear measurement while the stainless (Inox) blade improves corrosion resistance for extended use in workshop and on-site conditions. The ergonomically shaped housing makes the tape convenient to hold and operate for quick layout, marking and verification tasks.

Advantages

The stainless steel blade resists rust and wear, maintaining legibility of measurement marks over time. A 16 mm blade width gives reasonable rigidity for short reaches and helps reduce blade sag when extending. The 3 m length covers most interior and small exterior measuring needs while the compact housing is suited for hand-held use and easy storage in a toolbox or pocket. The design supports straightforward, repeatable linear measurements and quick checks on site.

Suitable for

• General construction measurements and on-site verification
• Carpentry layout and cutting preparation
• DIY home improvement and furniture assembly
• Quick dimensional checks during installations and repairs

Key specifications

• Blade length: 3 metres
• Blade width: 16 millimetres
• Blade material: stainless (Inox) steel
• Measurement type: linear metric graduations
• Housing: compact, hand-held design

How to use

Pull the blade from the housing to the required length and use the printed graduations to take the linear measurement. Hold the housing firmly with one hand and extend the blade with the other to maintain straight alignment; use the hook end to anchor on edges or surfaces as needed. Retract the blade back into the housing slowly to avoid damage. Use the tape for marking cut lines, checking distances or verifying dimensions during installation procedures.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape dry and wipe the blade clean after use to preserve the stainless finish and printed graduations. Avoid sharp bends or forcing the blade beyond its full extension to maintain accuracy and prevent deformation. For repetitive or precision-critical measurements, verify calibration against a known standard before use.
