Measuring Tape Tajima HI-LOCK Class I 5 m H1550MW

The Tajima HI-LOCK Class I 5 m H1550MW is a handheld measuring tape with a 5-metre blade designed for precise linear measurement. As a Class I instrument, it meets tight accuracy requirements suitable for tasks where reliable dimensioning is essential. The compact, ergonomically shaped housing houses a clearly graduated blade and a positive lock mechanism that holds the blade in place during reading and positioning. A retraction system returns the blade smoothly into the case when measurement is complete.

Advantages

The Class I accuracy ensures measurements with minimal deviation, making the tape suitable for professional use in construction and joinery. The HI-LOCK system secures the blade to prevent slipping, improving repeatability and safety when measuring long runs. The compact housing offers comfortable handling and easy storage, while the clear, contrasting graduations on the blade provide quick legibility. The cassette and retraction mechanism are designed for steady operation and controlled blade return.

How to use

Pull the blade out of the housing to the required length and engage the HI-LOCK mechanism to hold the blade in place.

Release the lock and allow the blade to retract into the case, guiding it by hand if necessary to ensure a controlled return. Store the tape in a dry place to preserve the case and blade markings.

Usage recommendations

For best accuracy, align the tape along the measurement line and avoid bending the blade; verify zero-point alignment at the hook before measuring. Regularly clean the blade and check the lock and retraction mechanism for wear to maintain reliable performance.
