Tape measure MODECO MN-81-156 FRIENDLY GRIP with magnet 5.00 m × 19 mm

Tape measure MODECO MN-81-156 FRIENDLY GRIP with magnet 5.00 m × 19 mm is a compact measuring tool designed for accurate linear measurement in construction, carpentry, installation and household projects. The 5.00 m blade provides extended reach while the 19 mm width maintains rigidity for easier single-person use. A magnetic end hook allows temporary attachment to ferrous surfaces, enabling hands-free measuring and more stable readings.

Advantages

The FRIENDLY GRIP casing offers a secure, ergonomic hold that reduces slippage during measurement and improves control when extending or retracting the blade. The 19 mm steel blade combines visibility of markings with sufficient stiffness to extend across moderate distances without bending. The integrated magnet on the hook simplifies work on metal structures and speeds up tasks that require one-person operation.

Suitable for

• Construction site layout and rough measurements
• Carpentry and woodworking tasks
• Plumbing and electrical installation measurements
• DIY projects and home improvement
• Quick on-site checks and measurements where a magnetic hook is useful

Key specifications

• Blade length: 5.00 m
• Blade width: 19 mm
• Blade material: steel
• End hook: magnetic for attachment to ferrous surfaces
• Casing: ergonomic FRIENDLY GRIP design for secure handling
• Measurement units: metric (millimetres and metres)

How to use

Extend the blade from the casing to the required length and anchor the magnetic hook to a metal edge when possible for hands-free measurement. Hold the casing with the FRIENDLY GRIP to maintain control while reading the scale at the blade end or at the casing stop. Retract the blade slowly to avoid damage to the hook and blade; use the brake or lock (if present) to secure the blade while taking measurements.

Usage recommendations

For best accuracy, ensure the blade is fully extended and straight when measuring longer spans, and attach the magnetic hook to a clean, flat metal surface. Avoid dropping the tape measure or exposing it to excessive moisture to preserve the blade markings and casing function. Clean the blade after use to remove debris that can affect readability and movement.
