Tape Measure 5m 16ft 25mm Metric Imperial Thumb Lock

A 5m tape measure for straightforward day-to-day measuring jobs around the home, workshop or site. The 25mm blade gives a clear reading, while metric and imperial markings make it easier to work from different plans, fittings and material sizes.

Used for checking timber lengths, room dimensions, sheet materials, pipe runs and general fitting work, this tape measure suits both trade and DIY use. It is handy for marking out before cutting, measuring spaces during home maintenance, or carrying out quick checks during garage work and workshop jobs. When moving between tasks, the belt clip helps keep it close by rather than getting left on a bench or in a tool bag.

The 5 metre / 16ft reach covers many common measuring tasks without being bulky to carry, and the thumb lock helps hold the blade in place while you mark or confirm a size. A 25mm wide blade is easier to follow at a glance than narrower tapes, which is useful when working quickly or measuring alone. With both metric and imperial graduations on the blade, it saves switching between measurements when materials or instructions use different units. For regular measuring, fitting and layout work, it keeps the process simple and helps avoid unnecessary hold-ups.
