Tape measure STANLEY FATMAX MIARA AUTOLOCK 5 m — model 335030, self-locking blade

The STANLEY FATMAX MIARA AUTOLOCK 5 m (model 335030) is a compact 5‑meter tape measure with an autolock blade designed for hands‑free measuring on construction sites and in DIY projects. The unit combines a durable steel blade with a compact housing to offer accurate length readings, easy one‑hand operation and transportability for carpentry, installation and repair tasks.

Advantages

The autolock mechanism holds the blade securely in place for convenient single‑operator measurement and reduces the need to hold the blade manually during marking or cutting. The blade material is treated for wear resistance and clear graduations improve readout accuracy. The compact case design with ergonomic shape supports comfortable gripping and portability, while the robust construction resists everyday jobsite impacts and prolongs service life.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and woodworking measurements
• Electrical and plumbing installation checks
• On‑site layout and marking for renovation works
• General household measuring and DIY tasks

Key specifications

• Measuring length: 5 meters
• Blade type: self‑locking (autolock) steel blade
• Blade graduations: metric units with clear markings for precise readout
• Housing: compact, impact‑resistant casing with ergonomic shape
• Operation: one‑hand operation enabled by autolock mechanism

How to use

Pull the blade out from the housing to the required length; the autolock mechanism will automatically engage and hold the blade in position for hands‑free measurement. Read the measurement at the blade markings aligned with the housing edge. To retract the blade, press the release button or lever located on the case and allow the blade to retract smoothly back into the housing, guiding it by hand if necessary to avoid rapid retraction.

Usage recommendations

Use the tape measure on clean, dry surfaces and avoid bending the blade sharply to preserve accuracy and prolong blade life. Store the tool in a toolbox or protective pouch when not in use. For long or heavy pulls, support the blade to prevent deformation; inspect the autolock and blade condition regularly and replace the tape if graduations become worn or the locking mechanism weakens.
