Product Information
Full details
The Magnusson 10M Tape Measure is an essential tool designed for trade professionals and DIY enthusiasts who require precision, durability, and comfort during extended measuring tasks. Featuring a robust TPR-coated case and an integrated auto-stop mechanism, it simplifies accurate one-person measurements on long spans. While its 10-meter length provides excellent reach, the tool's size and weight are more substantial than smaller 3m or 5m alternatives, making it slightly bulkier for quick pocket storage.

FAQs
Is this tape measure suitable for outdoor use?
Yes, the Magnusson 10M tape is designed for job site durability, but it should be kept dry and cleaned after use to prevent corrosion.
Does it have a belt clip?
Yes, it features an integrated belt clip for convenient carry on your tool belt or trouser pocket.
How do I use the auto-stop feature?
Simply pull the blade to your desired length; the tape will automatically stay locked in place. To retract, release the lock mechanism or guide the blade back manually.
Is the blade nylon-coated?
The blade is engineered for high durability, but please refer to the specific batch packaging for exact coating specifications regarding wear resistance.
Can I use this for measuring vertical heights?
Yes, the rigid blade design allows for excellent vertical stand-out, making it ideal for measuring ceiling heights or wall dimensions.
Troubleshooting
Blade will not fully retract
Check the blade for debris or small kinks. Gently pull the blade out and clear away any dust or moisture, then guide it back in slowly.
Auto-stop lock feels stuck
Ensure no external pressure is being applied to the button or lock mechanism. Gently jiggle the blade while pressing the mechanism to reset the locking pawl.
Blade markings are difficult to read
Wipe the blade surface with a clean cloth. If the print is obscured by grease, use a mild soap solution followed immediately by thorough drying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
No complex setup is required for this tape measure; it is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. To ensure the longevity of the tool, wipe the blade clean with a dry, lint-free cloth after use in dusty or wet environments. Avoid allowing the blade to snap back at high speeds, as this can damage the internal spring or the end hook. Store the tape measure in a dry, temperate area to prevent rust or corrosion on the metal blade. For compatibility, the tape is calibrated for standard metric measurements commonly used in construction and woodworking.
