This tape measure provides an essential upgrade for demanding applications in construction, engineering, carpentry, and surveying. Providing a substantial measuring length of 8 metre, this tape is designed to handle large-scale measurements with ease, reducing the need for multiple re-positions and ensuring high efficiency. At the core of this tool is its extra wide 25 millimetre double sided carbon steel blade. The increased width ensures the blade remains exceptionally rigid and straight over long extensions, facilitating easy single handed measuring without the blade collapsing or bending. The carbon steel construction provides inherent strength and resilience against every day wear and tear. To maximize the blade lifespan and readability, it is protected by a high quality, double sided nylon coating. This advanced coating acts as a shield against the abrasive effects of dirt, dust, and rough materials, while also preventing corrosion from moisture, humidity, and chemical exposure. This ensures the measurement markings remain crystal clear and legible for the tool entire service life. This Dekton tape measure is certified as a Class 2 accuracy instrument, confirming that it meets stringent industrial standards for precision. To offer complete versatility, the blade features dual markings with both metric and imperial scales prominently displayed on the front side, catering to all international project specifications. For added convenience when measuring vertically or reading from the underside, the reverse side of the blade includes a clear metric only scale. The blade material is designated as 8.5S Ruler Strip for its optimal balance of flexibility and stiffness. The rugged housing is built from a durable core of ABS plus 50 Steel, providing excellent structural integrity. This heavy duty case is enveloped in an Anti-Grip Rubber Grip overlay. This non slip rubber protection serves a dual purpose: it offers superior shock absorption to protect the internal mechanisms from high-impact drops, and it provides the user with a firm, secure, and comfortable hold, even when working with wet hands or gloves. Functionality is streamlined by the integrated Auto-Lock mechanism. This highly convenient self-locking design automatically holds the blade securely at any extended length, freeing up both hands for accurate marking or documentation. Retraction is smooth and controlled, initiated simply by pressing the prominent push release button, preventing the blade from snapping back aggressively. For portability and quick access, the case is fitted with a strong metal belt clip and includes a secure wrist strap, ensuring the tape is always safe, accessible, and ready for use. This 8 metre Dekton tape measure is the definitive tool for professionals demanding accuracy, comfort, and unwavering reliability.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional grade tape measure with an extended working length of 8 metre\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures a wide 25 millimetre double sided carbon steel blade\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade is protected by a durable nylon coating for superior abrasion resistance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClassified as a highly accurate Class 2 measuring instrument\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProvides dual markings with both metric and imperial scales on the front\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRear of the blade features a convenient metric only scale\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeavy duty case is protected by a non-slip anti-grip rubber grip\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes an auto-lock self-locking mechanism for hands free use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeatures a push release button for smooth and safe blade retraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with a sturdy metal belt clip for secure and easy carrying\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWrist strap is included to prevent accidental drops on the job site\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCasing is constructed from robust ABS plus 50 Steel material\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned to be highly shock absorbent and impact resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade stiffness allows for easy single handed measuring over distance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for construction, carpentry, and large scale professional measurements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Dekton","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53944475025674,"sku":"DT55141","price":2.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0951\/5080\/1162\/files\/1763552614_1119024163.jpg?v=1792500056","url":"https:\/\/waterloo-home-and-hardware.co.uk\/products\/dekton-professional-carbon-steel-tape-measure-black-and-red-8mtr","provider":"Waterloo Home \u0026 Hardware - The Really Useful Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
