Tape measure YATO YT-71540 — 1 pc, retractable measuring tape

YATO YT-71540 is a retractable measuring tape supplied as one piece per pack. Designed for general measuring tasks, it provides a compact and portable solution for length measurement in construction, DIY, carpentry and installation work. The tape is suitable for quick distance checks, on-site measurements and layout tasks where a handheld tape is required; the open housing and crank retraction make it practical for field use.

Advantages

The measuring tape features a 30 m fiberglass blade with 15 mm width, offering resistance to abrasion and fading for prolonged legibility. Its open housing design helps keep the tape clean and reduces the risk of jamming when contaminated with sand or soil. A convenient crank with an optimized gear ratio speeds retraction after measurement, increasing efficiency during repetitive measuring tasks.

Suitable for

• Measuring long distances on building sites and outdoor areas
• Layout and marking tasks in carpentry and joinery
• DIY projects and home renovation measurements
• Installation work requiring portable, durable length measurement

Key specifications

• Tape length: 30 m
• Tape width: 15 mm
• Tape material: fiberglass, abrasion- and fade-resistant
• Housing type: open design to reduce contamination and jamming
• Retraction: crank with selected gear ratio for faster rewind
• Pack quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Pull the tape out from the housing to the required length and read the measurement from the marked graduations on the fiberglass blade. Use the crank to retract the tape smoothly back into the housing after measuring, keeping the blade aligned to avoid twisting. The open housing allows you to clear dirt or sand manually before rewinding to prevent jamming.

Usage recommendations

For accurate and long-lasting performance, avoid sharp bends in the fiberglass tape, clean off heavy contamination before rewinding, and store the tape in a dry place when not in use. Use the crank for controlled retraction to minimize stress on the blade and markings.
