The Linex MT5000 5m tape measure offers a durable, 5-metre steel blade with clear metric (cm) and imperial (inches) markings for straightforward readings. Its black-and-yellow housing improves visibility on the job, while a non-slip surface ensures a secure grip. The compact blister pack makes the tape easy to carry and store for professional and DIY use.

How to use

Grip the tape case using the non-slip surface and pull the blade to the desired length. Hook the magnetic, flexible end onto the object or use it to measure from an O-point; the hook’s flexibility helps when measuring around corners or awkward angles. Use the stop-and-go locking functions to hold intermediate positions and press the brake to secure the blade fully before reading the measurement.

Usage recommendations

For accurate long-term use, retract the blade fully with controlled speed to avoid blade damage, keep the magnetic hook clean of metal debris, and store the tool in a dry place. Regularly check the locking mechanism and hook for wear to maintain measurement reliability.
