Measure quickly and accurately with the Stanley Hi-Viz Tylon Tape Measure 5m / 16ft. Designed for everyday trade and DIY use, this compact measuring tape combines a durable Tylon™ coated blade with clear metric and imperial graduations, a Tru-Zero end hook and a positive blade lock.
Whether you're measuring timber, roofing materials, plasterboard or general building materials, the 5 metre reach provides excellent versatility without the bulk of a larger tape.
Furthermore, its distinctive high-visibility case makes the tape easier to spot inside a busy toolbox or around the work area. Therefore, it's an excellent everyday measuring tool for builders, roofers, carpenters, joiners, decorators and DIY users.
Durable Tylon™ Coated Blade
Stanley's Tylon™ blade coating improves resistance to everyday wear and helps protect the measuring blade during regular use.
In addition, the blade uses a matt finish. As a result, glare and reflections are reduced, which makes the graduations easier to read in bright working conditions.
The 19mm wide blade also provides clear, legible markings while maintaining the compact dimensions that make a 5m tape so convenient to carry.
Metric & Imperial Measurements
The Stanley Tylon 5m Tape Measure gives you both metric and imperial measurements, with a total measuring capacity of 5 metres or 16 feet.
Consequently, you can switch easily between measurement systems depending on drawings, materials or job requirements. This makes the tape particularly useful for UK tradespeople who regularly encounter dimensions specified in both millimetres and feet/inches.
Tru-Zero Hook for Accurate Measurements
Accuracy matters on every job. Therefore, Stanley equips this tape measure with its Tru-Zero end hook.
The hook moves to compensate for its own thickness when taking internal and external measurements. As a result, you can hook the tape over an edge or push it against a surface while maintaining measurement accuracy.
This simple feature makes a significant difference when measuring timber, sheet materials, openings and other building components.
Positive Blade Lock
Once you have extended the blade to the required measurement, the positive blade lock holds it securely in position.
Therefore, you can read measurements or transfer marks more easily without constantly holding the blade in place. Release the lock when finished, and the blade retracts neatly back into the case.
High-Visibility Compact Case
A tape measure is one of the most frequently used tools on site. Consequently, it needs to remain easy to find and comfortable to carry.
The Stanley Hi-Viz Tylon features a high-visibility case, making it easier to locate among tools, materials and equipment.
Furthermore, its compact design makes it convenient to keep close at hand throughout the working day. A belt clip also provides another practical carrying option.
