COATED BLADES, RESISTANT TO ABRASION - The tape has coated blades. It saves them from abrasion and increases the lifetime. The tape extends and collapses smoothly. The blades are 19mm in thickness and 5m in length. ABS CONSTRUCTION PLASTIC SHELL, RUBBER COATING - The outer shell of the tape is made of ABS material. ABS is short for acrylonitrile butadiene styrene. This polymer is famous for its hardness, gloss and electrical insulation properties. ACCURACY OF MEASUREMENT - +-0.2MM The tape has precise marks for measurements and gives accurate measurements up to +-0.2mm. EASY TO LOCK, PRACTICAL USE - Our 5m Tape Measures can be extended far without kinking and instantly rolled up again in a compact housing thanks to the reliable automatic return. The tape locks itself when it has reached the precise point of measurement. This allows a smooth motion and prevents quick retraction. Your perfect measurement! LONGER LENGTH, ERGONOMIC - The tape has variable lengths, the longest being 5 m. This makes it versatile to be used in many tasks. The rubberized plastic casing sits perfectly in your hand and can be attached to the belt with a detachable belt clip. A loop allows you to fix and hang the tape measure 5m.
