Measuring tape MODECO MN-81-013 BASIC 300 cm × 1.6 cm retractable

MODECO MN-81-013 BASIC 300 cm × 1.6 cm retractable is a compact measuring tape intended for general measuring tasks in construction, renovation and DIY. The 3-meter blade made of flexible steel allows quick linear measurements, while the 1.6 cm width provides clear graduations for readable length indication. Its retractable mechanism and small housing make it easy to carry on a belt or store in a toolbox, enabling fast on-site checks and basic layout work where a 3 m range is sufficient.

Advantages

The measuring tape delivers straightforward operation with a smooth retracting mechanism and visible markings for reliable readings. Its compact housing ensures portability and convenient storage, and the 1.6 cm blade width balances flexibility with legibility. The product is suitable for repeated short measurements and quick distance checks on both interior and exterior surfaces.

Suitable for

• Measuring room dimensions and furniture placement during renovation
• Quick site checks and basic layout for small construction tasks
• DIY projects, carpentry and joinery where a 3 m range is adequate
• Marking distances for drilling, hanging fixtures and installations

Key specifications

• Measuring range: 300 cm
• Blade width: 1.6 cm
• Blade material: flexible steel
• Display: printed graduations with metric units
• Operation: retractable spring mechanism
• Housing: compact, pocket-friendly design

How to use

Pull the blade out from the housing to the required length and engage the tip on the reference point. Read length directly from the printed graduations on the blade. Release the lock (if present) to allow the blade to retract slowly back into the housing, guiding the tape by hand to avoid rapid retraction. For measurements over longer distances, use a helper to hold one end or secure the tape at the starting point.

Usage recommendations

Keep the blade clean and free of bends to preserve measurement accuracy. Avoid letting the blade snap back into the case to protect the retraction mechanism and printed graduations. Store the tool in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the steel blade.
