FAQs

Does this tape measure show both inches and centimeters?

Yes, it features both metric and imperial (imperial) scales.

Is the magnet strong enough to hold the whole tape vertically?

It is designed to help secure the tip for measurement; it may not support the weight of the entire extended blade on a vertical surface.

What does Class II accuracy mean?

Class II is an international standard for measurement tools, indicating the tape is precise within a specific tolerance required for most professional construction.

Is the blade nylon coated?

Yes, the steel blade is nylon coated to protect against wear and tear.

How do I claim the lifetime guarantee?

The guarantee covers manufacturing defects. Keep your proof of purchase and contact your original retailer for warranty support.

Can I replace the blade if it kinks?

The blade is not user-replaceable; if the tape is significantly damaged, it should be replaced to maintain measurement accuracy.

Troubleshooting

Blade will not retract smoothly

Check the blade for debris or sharp bends; wipe the blade clean and ensure it is free from kinks.

Magnetic tip not holding to surfaces

Ensure the magnetic surface is clean and free of paint or thick dust; ensure the metal surface has enough iron content.

Locking mechanism feels stiff

Ensure the blade is fully extended and retracted to cycle the mechanism; if grit is visible, clean the aperture of the tape measure case.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Automatic locking saves time during repetitive measurements
  • Magnetic end makes working with metal frames easier
  • Nylon coating protects blade markings from fading
  • Compact and lightweight for easy portability
  • Lifetime guarantee provides peace of mind

Cons

  • 5-meter length is limited for long-distance measurements
  • 19mm blade width may be less rigid than wider blades
  • Magnetic tip can attract metal filings or debris

Setup, Compatibility & Care

No complex setup is required; the tape is ready to use straight out of the packaging. For care, ensure the blade is wiped clean of dust or grit before rewinding to maintain the internal mechanism's longevity. If the blade becomes wet, extend it fully and wipe it down with a dry cloth to prevent rust from forming under the nylon casing. Avoid allowing the tape to snap back at high speeds, as this can damage the hook or the internal spring. Store in a dry environment to ensure the longevity of the metallic components.
