Measuring tape SOLA PRO-TM 5 m, 19 mm blade width

SOLA PRO-TM 5 m measuring tape with a 19 mm blade width is a compact, portable tool for accurate linear measurement in construction, carpentry and home improvement. The retractable steel tape and robust metal/plastic housing are engineered to withstand regular site and workshop use while providing reliable reading and repeatable results for layout, marking and quick checks.

Advantages

The 19 mm blade provides a stable, easy-to-read surface that improves measurement precision and reduces blade flex on extended pulls. The combination metal/plastic case balances durability and weight for comfortable handling and transport. The retracting mechanism ensures fast tape return and safe storage, while the clear graduations on the blade support fast, accurate reading in millimetres and centimetres. The compact size makes it convenient to carry in a pocket or tool belt.

Suitable for

• Construction site measuring and layout
• Carpentry, joinery and furniture making
• DIY home projects and renovations
• Workshop checking and component measuring
• Quick on-site dimensioning and marking

Key specifications

• Length: 5 metres
• Blade width: 19 mm
• Blade material: hardened steel (retractable)
• Case material: metal/plastic composite
• Graduation: metric scale in millimetres and centimetres

How to use

Extend the blade to the required length and hook the end on the edge or measure from a flat surface. Hold the case steady and read the measurement at the blade mark aligned with the case edge. For longer reaches, use the blade's rigidity provided by the 19 mm width to reduce sag. Retract the tape slowly using the brake or release mechanism to avoid rapid retraction that can damage the blade or markings.

Usage recommendations

Store the measuring tape in a dry place and avoid impacts to the case. Keep the blade clean from dirt and paint to preserve clear graduations. When measuring on rough surfaces, protect the blade hook to prevent bending and maintain accuracy. Periodically inspect the retracting mechanism and blade for wear to ensure reliable performance.
