Measuring Tape YATO YT-71081 — 5 m length, 19 mm steel tape, ABS rubber case

Compact measuring tape YATO YT-71081 features a 5 m long, 19 mm wide steel tape housed in a durable ABS case with a rubberized grip. The tape shows clear metric markings and a reliable spring retraction mechanism designed for repeated everyday measuring tasks. Its compact dimensions make it easy to store in a toolbox or belt pocket while the reinforced tape and case withstand typical on-site and home use.

Advantages

The rubberized ABS case improves grip and reduces slippage during one-handed measurements. A 19 mm steel tape provides good rigidity for extended reach and straighter runs when measuring. Clear metric graduation ensures quick and accurate reading of lengths. The compact 5 m length balances portability with sufficient range for most construction, carpentry and household tasks. The retraction mechanism is designed for smooth operation and controlled rewind.

Suitable for

• General construction site measurements
• Carpentry and joinery layout work
• DIY and home improvement projects
• Installing fixtures, shelving and furniture placement
• Quick on-site checks and measurements

Key specifications

• Tape length: 5 m

• Tape material: steel
• Case material: ABS with rubberized grip

How to use

Extend the steel tape to the required length and hook the tape end onto the target edge or press the tape firmly against the surface when measuring single-handedly. Read the metric markings at eye level to avoid parallax error. Release the lock, if present, to allow controlled retraction; guide the tape back into the case to avoid rapid recoil that can damage the tape or case. Store the measuring tape in a dry place and avoid strong impacts to the case.

Usage recommendations

For accurate results, keep the tape clean and straight during use and avoid bending the steel tape sharply. Use the rubberized grip for secure handling and replace the measuring tape if the markings become worn or the tape shows kinks or severe corrosion.
