Tape Measure Stanley Micro Powerlock Blade Armor Metric 0-33-532

The Stanley Micro Powerlock Blade Armor Metric 0-33-532 is a compact metric tape measure with a 33-foot (10 m) length and a 1-inch (19 mm) wide blade designed for accurate linear measurement in construction, woodworking and general DIY tasks. The blade features a Blade Armor coating and Mylar® protection for improved abrasion resistance and extended service life. A three-rivet hook and Tru-Zero end hook ensure reliable inside and outside measurements, while the ABS shock-proof chrome steel case and belt clip provide practical protection and portability.

Advantages

The tape includes a three-rivet hook construction that reduces the risk of accidental breakage and delivers greater durability than two-rivet designs. The Blade Armor coating on the first 100 mm and the Mylar® coated blade increase resistance to wear and abrasion. The ABS shock-proof chrome steel case protects internal components from impacts and the compact case shape improves handling and storage. A belt clip offers easy access on the job, and the precision class II blade with Tru-Zero end hook supports accurate inside and outside measurements.

How to use

Pull the blade from the case to the required length and lock it with the Powerlock mechanism to hold the measurement. Hook the end onto the object or use the Tru-Zero end hook pressed against an internal surface for inside measurements. Read the metric graduations directly from the blade; release the lock to retract the blade slowly and guide it back into the case to avoid damage. Use the belt clip to keep the tape accessible when moving between tasks.

Usage recommendations

To extend blade life, avoid retracting the tape at full speed and prevent excessive bending beyond the stated measurement range before curving. Keep the first 100 mm protected to preserve the Blade Armor coating, and store the measure in a dry place to avoid corrosion. Use the three-rivet hook and belt clip as intended to minimise accidental drops and maintain measurement accuracy.
