Measuring Tape MODECO METAL PROFI MN-81-188 — 8 m × 2.5 cm, metal case

MODECO METAL PROFI MN-81-188 — 8 m × 2.5 cm, metal case is a compact retractable measuring tape designed for routine length measurement tasks in construction, carpentry and DIY. The 8-metre blade with 2.5 cm width provides clear graduations for quick distance checks and material layout, while the metal case increases resistance to knocks and wear during frequent use on job sites.

Advantages

The metal housing offers improved impact resistance and longer service life compared with plastic cases. A 2.5 cm wide steel blade improves readability of printed markings and reduces blade flex over longer spans. The compact size and retractable mechanism enable single-handed operation and easy storage in a toolbox or belt pouch. Precision-printed graduations along the blade allow reliable repeatable measurements for general construction and finishing tasks.

Suitable for

• Measuring distances in building and renovation works
• Carpentry layout and cutting verification
• DIY home improvement and furniture assembly
• Quick site checks and material estimating

Key specifications

• Blade length: 8 metres
• Blade width: 2.5 centimetres
• Blade material: steel
• Case material: metal
• Retractable mechanism for automatic retraction

How to use

Pull the steel blade out of the metal case to the required length and hook the end on the reference point. Read measurement values directly from the printed graduations on the blade. Use the retractable mechanism to return the blade into the case after measuring; control the speed of retraction by guiding the blade to avoid sudden snapping. Store the tape in a dry place to minimise corrosion over time.

Usage recommendations

For best accuracy, keep the blade straight and supported when measuring longer spans and check the hook end for secure seating on edges. Regularly clean the blade from dirt and debris and dry it after exposure to moisture to maintain legibility of markings and reliable retraction.
