Tape measure STABILA LBM 2000 STEEL 19658 — 20 m, steel blade, ABS casing

STABILA LBM 2000 STEEL 19658 — 20 m tape measure with a steel measuring blade and ABS casing designed for accurate linear measurement on construction sites, in carpentry and installation work. The 20 metre range allows measurement of long distances without repositioning, while the steel blade ensures dimensional stability and resistance to wear. The ABS housing provides impact protection and a secure grip for handling in demanding work environments.

Advantages

The steel blade offers high tensile strength and improved resistance to kinking, maintaining straightness over extended lengths. The 20 m measuring range reduces the need for joining measuring runs and speeds up tasks that require continuous distance measurement. The ABS casing delivers shock absorption and protects internal components from mechanical damage, while keeping the product lightweight and easy to carry. The clearly printed graduations on the blade enable quick reading and precise transfer of measurements.

Suitable for

• Measuring long distances on construction sites and building exteriors
• Carpentry tasks that require accurate length measurement of beams and boards
• HVAC and plumbing installation measurements over extended runs
• Surveying and site layout where repeated long measurements are needed

Key specifications

• Measuring range: 20 metres
• Blade material: steel for wear resistance and dimensional stability
• Housing material: ABS for impact protection and light weight
• Graduation: clearly printed linear markings for quick reading
• Design: compact casing suitable for hand-held operation and transport

How to use

Hold the ABS casing firmly and extend the steel blade to the required length, ensuring the blade remains straight and supported to avoid sagging over long spans. Use the printed graduations to read the measurement directly from the blade; if measuring between two fixed points, hook the blade end or press it against the reference point for accurate alignment. Retract the blade slowly into the casing to prevent damage to the end hook and the blade edge.

Usage recommendations

Store the tape measure in a dry place and avoid dropping the casing from height to preserve blade calibration and housing integrity. For longest blade life, wipe the blade clean of dirt and moisture after use and retract it fully when transporting. Use stable supports or an assistant when measuring very long horizontal distances to prevent blade deflection and improve accuracy.
