The tape is made from sprung sheet metal with a nylon coating that protects against moisture, abrasion and fading from sunlight. A fixed hook allows internal and external measurements, while the solid ABS housing resists damage. The tool is manufactured to accuracy class II and includes a clip attachment and short lanyard for user convenience.

How to use

Usage recommendations

To maintain accuracy and prolong service life, avoid forcing the tape back into the housing and keep the nylon-coated tape clean and dry. Do not expose the tool to prolonged UV radiation or corrosive chemicals.
