The SCEPTRE 5m/19mm inch measuring tape with a non-slip ABS case is a durable, easy-to-use measuring device with a rigid tape that extends to a maximum of 5m and shows accurate measurements in 1mm increments. The Non-Slip ABS case has a wide rigid blade and its auto-retract mechanism makes it less likely to slip. It is slim and light enough to fit into your pocket or tool belt. A must-have tool for every carpenter, professional or casual, for measuring length. It consists of a long strip of which one end can be mechanically extended and retracted. The retractable tape ends with a hook book or a mechanism for finding the exact measure. The tape is usually wrapped around a reel so that it can be conveniently stored and handled.
