Measuring Tape MODECO MN-81-143, retractable 300 cm × 1.9 cm with BIGSTOP mechanism

MODECO MN-81-143 measuring tape is a retractable length gauge with a 300 cm blade and a 1.9 cm blade width, equipped with the BIGSTOP mechanism for secure blade lock. The tape is designed for general measuring tasks in construction, carpentry and DIY where compact storage, fast extension and reliable locking are required. Its durable housing and clear metric scale make it suitable for repeated on-site use and domestic projects.

Advantages

The 300 cm blade provides extended reach while the 1.9 cm width ensures a stable, readable tape that resists bending. The BIGSTOP mechanism reliably locks the blade in position for accurate marking and cutting. The retractable design allows compact, safe storage and quick retraction after measurement. The clear metric graduations support precise readings and straightforward transfer of dimensions to workpieces.

Suitable for

• Measuring long distances on construction sites and in renovation projects
• Carpentry, joinery and furniture making where longer blades are needed
• DIY home improvement tasks such as laying floors or fitting fixtures
• Quick on-site measurements for architects, contractors and inspectors

Key specifications

• Blade length: 300 cm
• Blade width: 1.9 cm
• Measurement scale: metric (centimetres and millimetres)
• Locking mechanism: BIGSTOP blade lock for stable positioning
• Casing: retractable, compact design for storage and portability

How to use

Pull the blade out of the casing to the required measurement length and engage the BIGSTOP mechanism to lock the blade in place for marking or cutting. Read the measurement from the metric scale at the hook end, taking into account the hook offset if applicable. After measuring, release the lock and allow the blade to retract slowly into the housing to avoid damage. Use the end hook to anchor the tape on edges or surfaces when measuring single-handedly.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape in a dry place and avoid sudden retraction of the blade to extend the life of the BIGSTOP mechanism and the tape's graduations. For best accuracy, keep the blade clean and free of dents; replace the tape if the scale becomes worn or the blade bends permanently.
