Measuring tape STANLEY Power Winder Fibreglass Long Tape model 347772 – fibreglass length measuring tool

The STANLEY Power Winder Fibreglass Long Tape model 347772 is a fibreglass length measuring tool designed for accurate distance measurement over extended ranges. Constructed from fibreglass, the tape resists stretching and adverse weather, maintaining measurement reliability during outdoor tasks. The power winder mechanism provides controlled retraction and compact storage, while the durable hook and printed graduation marks support clear reading and repeatable results.

Advantages

The fibreglass material offers flexibility and dimensional stability, reducing elongation compared with standard tapes and ensuring consistent readings in varied conditions. The power winder mechanism simplifies handling by allowing smooth winding and fast storage without manual coiling. The tape features high-contrast markings for improved visibility and a reinforced end hook for secure anchoring. Its construction is resistant to moisture and many common outdoor elements, extending useful service life.

Suitable for

• Outdoor distance measurement for landscaping and garden layout
• Surveying and site layout in construction
• Utility and infrastructure work requiring long measurements
• Roadside, sports field, or agricultural measurements

Key specifications

• Tape material: fibreglass for low-stretch performance
• Reel type: power winder for controlled retraction
• Markings: high-contrast graduations for clear reading
• End attachment: reinforced hook for stable anchoring
• Intended environment: outdoor use with moisture resistance
• Primary use: long-distance linear measurement

How to use

Extend the fibreglass tape from the reel to the required distance, ensuring the end hook is secured to the starting point or anchored to a stable object. Read the measurement at the appropriate graduation mark while keeping the tape aligned and straight between points. Retract the tape using the power winder mechanism to wind the tape evenly onto the reel, avoiding sharp bends or kinks. Store the winder and tape in a dry place when not in use to maintain marking legibility and material integrity.

Usage recommendations

For accurate results, keep the tape clean and free of debris, avoid excessive bending near the hook, and check markings periodically for wear. When working in wet or muddy conditions, wipe the tape dry after use and allow the fibreglass to dry before long-term storage. Use a steady anchor point to prevent slippage and reduce measurement error caused by sagging over long spans.
