Folding measuring tape STANLEY 2 m × 16 mm model 35-229 (plastic)

The STANLEY folding measuring tape 2 m × 16 mm model 35-229 is a compact, plastic-bodied tape designed for quick and convenient length measurements. Its 2-metre blade folds into a slim housing for easy storage and transport. The tape delivers straightforward metric readings and is intended for everyday measuring tasks in carpentry, DIY, interior layout and quick on-site checks.

Advantages

The lightweight plastic case reduces carrying weight while protecting the blade from minor impacts. The 16 mm wide steel blade provides stable, easy-to-read metric graduations suitable for short distance measurements. Folding construction keeps the tape compact when not in use, and the simple locking mechanism holds the blade in place during measurement. The small footprint makes it convenient to keep in a toolbox, apron pocket or drawer.

• Quick interior measurements and furniture positioning
• Basic carpentry and joinery tasks

• On-site checks and short-distance measuring

Key specifications

How to use

Unfold the tape blade from the housing and extend it along the surface to be measured. Hold the tape at the start point and pull the blade until the required length is reached. Use the locking mechanism to secure the blade if necessary for a steady reading. Fold the blade back into the case after use, ensuring it clicks into place to avoid blade damage and to keep the tape compact for storage.

Usage recommendations

For accurate readings, keep the blade aligned flat against the measured surface and avoid bending the blade sharply. Store the folding tape in a dry place to prevent corrosion and inspect the graduations periodically for wear when used frequently.
