These hand-held tape measures are used to measure materials, check spacing and mark out work during installation and maintenance. The blade pulls out from its case and returns for storage when the measurement is finished.
The INGCO steel tape has metric markings and a self-locking mechanism. It holds the blade out without needing to engage a sliding lock for each measurement. A rubber-covered case provides grip, and the two-button design controls the blade.
The Forge tape has a wide blade with a nylon coating to help protect it from everyday wear. Its thumb-operated lock holds the blade while you read the measurement or mark your work.
