Key Features

Reinforced 40-Strand Fibreglass Blade

The tape features a 40-strand fibreglass blade—far superior to standard 24-strand models—significantly reducing elasticity and providing greater tensile strength. This leads to more consistent and accurate long-distance measurements with improved tape stability.

Washable PVC-Coated Blade

The tape blade is coated with durable, washable PVC that protects the printed measurements and extends the tool’s service life, even when used in wet or muddy site conditions.

High-Impact ABS Open Reel Housing

Engineered from rugged ABS plastic, the open reel casing is resistant to impacts and wear, making it suitable for use on construction sites or in other high-demand environments.

Class III Accuracy

This tape adheres to Class III accuracy standards, suitable for general-purpose measuring tasks where millimetre precision is not critical but reliable repeatability is.

Ground Spike

An integrated ground spike allows the user to anchor the tape at a starting point easily—perfect for solo operation or extended straight-line measurements across large areas.

Large Ergonomic Handle

Designed for comfort and control, the large grip handle fits securely in the hand, allowing smooth retraction and fast deployment of the tape.

UV and Corrosion Resistance

The blade material is specially treated to resist both ultraviolet degradation and corrosion, ensuring durability and visibility even after prolonged exposure to sun and moisture.

Benefits

• Reliable Site Measurement: Ideal for measuring distances on uneven or outdoor terrain

• Improved Longevity: Durable construction materials extend tape lifespan

• Quick Deployment: Large grip handle and open reel design enable fast, efficient tape retrieval

• Enhanced Visibility: High-contrast yellow blade makes readings easy to see in varying light conditions
