Product Information

Full details

The R.S.T. SitePro Fibreglass Tape (50m/165ft, 13mm Width) is designed for professionals and DIYers needing accurate, long-range measurements in demanding environments. Its key benefit is the durable, high-tensile fibreglass blade that resists stretching, ensuring reliable readings. A potential caveat is its size, which may be less convenient for very confined spaces. Key features include a robust ABS plastic case, a high-speed 3x geared winding mechanism, and a folding rewind crank for protection and ease of use. The metal end hook offers secure anchoring for precise measurements.

FAQs

What is the accuracy class of this tape measure?

The R.S.T. SitePro Fibreglass Tape has an EC Class II accuracy rating.

Can I use this tape measure for electrical work?

No, this tape measure is made of fibreglass and is not suitable for use near live electrical currents.

Does the tape blade have both metric and imperial markings?

Yes, this specific model (50m/165ft) features both metric and imperial measurements on the white blade.

How should I clean the fibreglass blade?

Wipe the blade with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or solvents.

What is the benefit of the folding rewind crank?

The folding crank sits in the middle of the tape when not in use, preventing damage and making storage more compact.

What is the case made of?

The tape is housed in a durable black ABS plastic case.

How do I ensure the most accurate measurements with this tape?

Ensure the metal end hook is firmly anchored to your starting point and that the tape is extended tautly without kinks. For long distances, an assistant or securing the end hook to a fixed point is recommended.

Troubleshooting

Tape not retracting smoothly

Ensure the blade is free of dirt or debris. Check that the rewind crank is fully extended and operating correctly. Avoid forcing the retraction.

Inaccurate measurements

Verify the blade is not stretched or damaged. Ensure the end hook is firmly anchored and not slipping during measurement. Check that the tape is fully extended and not kinked.

Rewind crank feels stiff or stuck

Make sure the crank is fully unfolded. Gently work the crank back and forth. Clean any visible dirt or debris around the crank mechanism.

End hook is damaged or loose

Inspect the end hook for bends or cracks. If loose, ensure it is securely attached to the blade. Contact customer support if the hook cannot be repaired.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High tensile fibreglass blade resists stretching for accuracy.
  • Dual metric and imperial markings increase versatility.
  • Fast 3x geared winding mechanism speeds up retraction.
  • Durable ABS plastic case withstands job site conditions.
  • Protective folding rewind crank prevents damage.
  • Metal end hook provides secure anchoring for measurements.

Cons

  • The 50m length may be cumbersome for very small or confined spaces.
  • Fibreglass blades can be brittle if subjected to sharp impacts.
  • Requires careful handling to maintain accuracy over the long term.
  • Not suitable for electrical measurements due to fibreglass composition.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The R.S.T. SitePro Fibreglass Tape requires no initial setup. Simply extend the tape by pulling the blade out, and retract it using the folding rewind crank. Ensure the crank is fully extended before winding for optimal speed and ease.

Compatibility: This tape measure is compatible with all standard measuring tasks in construction, landscaping, surveying, and general DIY. It provides both metric and imperial measurements, making it suitable for projects adhering to different standards.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: After use, wipe the fibreglass blade with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
  2. Storage: Store the tape measure in its case in a dry environment. Ensure the rewind crank is folded down to prevent damage.
  3. Inspection: Periodically check the blade for any nicks, tears, or significant wear, especially near the end hook and the markings. Inspect the case for cracks.
  4. Winding: Always wind the tape smoothly. Avoid sudden jerks or letting the blade snap back into the case, as this can damage the blade or mechanism.
