Product Information
Full details
The C.K Tools T3565 165 is a 50m surveyor's tape measure designed for professionals needing accurate and durable measurements on site. Its key benefit is the robust construction with a ground spike and hook for secure placement, alongside a comfortable soft-grip handle and rapid rewind mechanism. A potential caveat is the absence of an automatic rewinder, requiring manual operation for retraction.

FAQs
What is the accuracy class of the tape?
The tape is accurate to 73/362/EEC Class III, ensuring professional-level precision for most surveying and construction tasks.
Can I use this tape for indoor measurements?
Yes, while designed for outdoor use with its ground spike, it functions perfectly for indoor measurements as well. The compact design and clear markings make it versatile.
Does the tape have an automatic retraction feature?
No, this model features a manual fold-out winding handle for rapid rewind, but it does not have an automatic spring-loaded retraction system.
What is the tape width?
The tape width is 1.3 cm (approximately 0.5 inches).
What materials are used for the tape and case?
The tape is made of strong and stretch-resistant glassfibre, while the case is constructed from durable Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) plastic.
Is the tape suitable for measuring long distances?
With a length of 50 meters, it is well-suited for measuring long distances commonly encountered in surveying and large site layouts.
How do I maintain the tape measure?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth, ensure it's dry before storage, and avoid kinking. Store in a dry environment.
Troubleshooting
Tape does not retract smoothly.
Ensure the tape is clean and free from debris. Check that the tape is not kinked or twisted. Manually guide the tape into the casing as you wind to prevent tangling.
Ground spike is bent or damaged.
Avoid forcing the spike into extremely hard surfaces. If damaged, contact the manufacturer or a repair service. For minor bends, careful straightening might be possible but could compromise its integrity.
Graduations are difficult to read.
Ensure the tape is clean and well-lit. If markings are worn, it may be time to replace the tape measure.
Winding handle is stiff.
Check for obstructions around the handle mechanism. Light lubrication with a suitable lubricant may help, but ensure it doesn't attract excessive dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Unfold the winding handle and extend the tape to the desired length. Secure the end using the blade hook or insert the ground spike into the soil for a stable measurement point. When finished, use the winding handle to retract the tape into the ABS case.
Compatibility: This tape measure is compatible with standard measuring practices for construction, surveying, landscaping, and DIY projects. It provides both metric and Imperial measurements, making it suitable for a wide range of international and local standards.
Care: Keep the tape clean by wiping it with a damp cloth after use, especially if exposed to dirt or moisture. Ensure the tape is fully retracted and dry before storing to prevent corrosion or damage. Avoid kinking the tape. Store in a dry place away from extreme temperatures. Periodically check the ground spike and hook for damage.
