Tape Measure högert technik HT4M426 — 5 m length, 25 mm blade, magnetic hook, nylon-coated, self-lock

Compact tape measure högert technik HT4M426 offers precise measuring for everyday construction, DIY, carpentry and installation tasks. The tape extends up to 5 m on a 25 mm wide steel blade with a nylon coating that increases wear resistance. A magnetic hook improves attachment to metal surfaces, while the self-lock mechanism holds the blade securely at the required length for accurate reading. The casing is compact for one-hand operation and convenient storage.

Advantages

The nylon-coated steel blade resists abrasion and reduces paint and dirt adhesion, extending service life. The 25 mm width keeps the blade stable when extended, reducing sag over longer reaches. The magnetic end hook enables easier measuring on ferrous materials and simplifies single-person measurements. The self-lock system locks the blade quickly and releases smoothly for fast retraction. The compact housing supports comfortable handling and practical portability on job sites.

Suitable for

• General construction measurements and site layout
• Carpentry and woodworking tasks requiring repeatable lengths
• HVAC, plumbing and electrical installation measurements
• DIY home improvement and furniture assembly

Key specifications

• Measuring length: 5 m
• Blade width: 25 mm
• Blade material: steel with nylon coating
• End hook: magnetic for securing to metal surfaces
• Locking: self-lock mechanism
• Casing: compact design for one-hand use

How to use

Pull the blade from the casing to the required length and allow the self-lock mechanism to engage to hold the blade in place. Attach the magnetic hook to a metal edge when measuring from that surface, or use the hook's lip to catch non-magnetic edges. Read the measurement on the blade while it is held straight; for longer reaches support the blade to reduce sag. Press the release or unlock lever to retract the blade slowly back into the case, keeping fingers clear of the blade edge.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape measure in a dry place and avoid dropping it to maintain blade accuracy and the integrity of the magnetic hook. Clean the nylon-coated blade with a soft cloth to remove dirt and debris before retracting. For repeatable precision over time, inspect the hook and blade for wear and replace the tool when markings or hook alignment are significantly worn.
