This 16ft 5m version with 25mm blade width offers the perfect balance of portability and reach for everyday measuring tasks. The compact size makes it ideal for tight spaces and general construction work, whilst still providing sufficient length for most standard applications. The non reflective, nylon coated stainless steel blade displays easy to read high contrast metric and imperial graduations on both sides, allowing you to take measurements from either direction. The deburred blade edges help prevent the coating from peeling with regular use. Being 100% corrosion resistant, the stainless steel blade can be completely immersed in water for extended periods to no ill effect. The magnetic zero end hook is particularly useful when working with metal surfaces, enabling single handed operation. Its bi material case is constructed from impact resistant abs plastic with an integrated belt clip for convenient access. The automatic locking system keeps the blade extended until you press the retraction button, providing enhanced control during measuring.
