Tape Measure 5m/16ft Retractable Metric & Imperial

A retractable 5m/16ft tape measure for everyday measuring work in the workshop, on site or around the home. It features metric and imperial markings on a 19mm blade, with a thumb lock to hold the tape in place while you mark out or check sizes.

Used for general building, fitting, DIY repairs and maintenance jobs, this metric and imperial tape measure suits anyone who needs quick, clear measurements without carrying separate rules or scales. Handy for checking timber, boards, wall spaces, pipe runs, furniture sizes and other common measuring tasks, it works well for trade use, garage jobs and home improvement alike.

The 5m/16ft length gives useful reach for many routine measuring jobs, while the retractable design keeps the blade contained when not in use. Metric and imperial increments make it easier when working from different plans, materials or existing measurements, and the 19mm blade gives a practical balance between visibility and easy handling. The thumb lock helps hold the blade steady during repeated marking out, which is useful when accuracy matters and when you want to avoid constantly re-extending the tape.
