Measuring tape Topex 2 m × 16 mm magnetic steel tape model 27C342

Measuring tape Topex 2 m × 16 mm magnetic steel tape model 27C342 is a compact, coiled steel tape designed for short-range linear measurements. The 2 m length and 16 mm blade width provide a balance of portability and stability, while the magnetic end hook enables hands-free attachment to ferrous surfaces. The tape retracts into a compact housing for convenient storage and transport, making it suitable for carpentry, installation and general DIY tasks that require quick, reliable distance checks.

Advantages

The steel blade offers durability and resistance to deformation during repeated use. The magnetic end hook improves usability by allowing one-person measurements on metal surfaces. Its compact coiled design protects the blade when not in use and reduces the risk of tangling, and the 16 mm width helps maintain blade rigidity for more accurate readings over the full 2 m length.

Suitable for

• Short-range measuring in carpentry and woodworking
• Home improvement and DIY projects
• Installation work such as fitting fixtures and cabinets
• Quick on-site distance checks and layout tasks

Key specifications

• Blade material: steel
• Blade length: 2 m
• Blade width: 16 mm
• End: magnetic hook for attachment to ferrous surfaces
• Design: coiled retractable tape in compact housing
• Measurement type: linear metric scale

How to use

Pull the steel blade out of the housing to the required length and attach the magnetic hook to a suitable ferrous anchor point if hands-free operation is needed. Hold the housing steady at the starting point and read the metric scale at the endpoint. Retract the blade slowly to avoid sudden snaps; allow the mechanism to rewind under control. For clearer readings, keep the blade straight and free of kinks during measurement.

Usage recommendations

Use the magnetic hook on clean metal surfaces for stable anchoring, and avoid exposing the blade to corrosive environments or excessive bending to prolong service life.
