FAQs
Is the tape measure blade replaceable?
No, the tape measure is designed as a sealed unit to maintain its impact-resistant integrity.
Can the 100mm level be used on metal surfaces?
The level is made of aluminium and does not feature magnetic ends, so it will not stick to ferrous metals on its own.
What is the maximum length of the tape?
The tape measures up to 8 meters.
Is the tape measure waterproof?
The blade is nylon-coated to resist corrosion, but it should be dried immediately after exposure to water to prevent long-term damage.
Can I use the level for professional surveying?
The mini box level is intended for short-distance leveling and quick checks, not for professional surveying or large-scale construction leveling.
Troubleshooting
Tape measure blade does not retract smoothly
Check the blade for kinks or debris. Wipe it clean and ensure no obstructions are inside the case opening.
Level bubble appears inaccurate
Ensure the surface you are testing is free of debris. Wipe the aluminium base of the level to ensure it sits flush against your work surface.
Locking mechanism feels stiff
Ensure no dust has collected in the lock switch. Use compressed air if necessary to clear the mechanism.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This set requires no assembly and is ready for immediate use upon removal from the packaging. To ensure the longevity of your Rikä tools, follow these care instructions:
- Tape Maintenance: After use, wipe the blade clean of debris or grit before retracting it into the case to prevent internal contamination.
- Impact Care: While the ABS case is impact-resistant, avoid using the tape measure as a striking tool.
- Level Calibration: Keep the aluminium level free of heavy gouges or bent edges to ensure the reference surfaces remain flat.
- Storage: Store both items in a dry toolbox to prevent potential oxidation of the metal components over time.
