5m/16ft Magnetic Tape Measure

Engineered for demanding jobsite layouts and solitary measurements, the 5m / 16ft Magnetic Tape Measure delivers a straighter, stiffer blade that resists rollover up to a 12-foot standout. Built with an ergonomically balanced, impact-resistant body, this measuring tape provides enhanced control during rapid layout work. The low-profile magnetic hook provides reliable top and bottom grabbing power on EMT, steel studs, and threaded rod without slipping. Featuring high-durability double-sided printing with both Metric and SAE markings alongside an architectural scale, it includes a heavy-duty anti-tear blade coating reinforcing the initial 6 inches. A snag-free wire belt clip and dedicated lanyard slot make transport effortless and pocket-friendly.

Key Features:

• 12’ Standout & 15’ Reach: Stiffer, straighter blade profile allows solo measurements across long spans with minimal blade rollover.

• Low-Profile Magnetic Hook: Secures onto ferrous jobsite materials from both the top and bottom edge of the hook.

• Reinforced Anti-Tear Coating: Double-sided protective shield reinforces the first 6" of the blade against premature cracking and snapping.

• Dual-Sided Metric & SAE Scales: Features crisp fractional SAE and metric increments on both sides, including an integrated architectural scale.

• Impact-Resistant Reinforced Frame: Built to survive repeated jobsite drops while maintaining a balanced, comfortable hand feel.

• Pocket-Safe Wire Form Belt Clip: Slides smoothly onto tool belts and pockets without tearing workwear fabrics.

• Smooth Retraction & Lanyard Ready: Controlled spring return and an integrated tether anchor for secure tie-off at height.
