Tape Measure Bahco MTG-8-25 Weight 360 g

The Bahco MTG-8-25 tape measure is a compact measuring tool designed for precision and everyday use. Weighing 360 g, it combines a robust casing with a clearly marked tape to support accurate linear measurements in construction, renovation and DIY tasks. The instrument provides straightforward measurement readout and a durable build intended to withstand regular handling on job sites and at home.

Advantages

The tape features a tough outer casing that protects the internal mechanism from impacts and wear. The measuring tape has clear graduations for quick reading and reliable repeatability. Its balanced weight of 360 g gives a stable feel in hand while remaining portable. The mechanism is designed for smooth retraction and secure locking during use.

Suitable for

• Carpentry and joinery measurements
• General construction and site layout
• Home improvement and DIY projects
• Interior fitting and furniture assembly

Key specifications

• Weight: 360 g
• Casing: impact-resistant construction suitable for workshop use
• Tape type: flexible steel tape with high-contrast markings
• Measurement graduations: metric and/or imperial readable markings (as printed on the tape)
• Retracting mechanism: controlled retraction with locking function

How to use

Hold the housing firmly and extend the tape to the desired length, ensuring the tape lies flat along the measured surface for an accurate reading. Use the locking mechanism to secure the tape at the measurement point, then read the value from the nearest graduation. Retract the tape slowly to avoid damage to the tape edge and the mechanism. For repeated measurements, keep the tape clean and free of kinks for consistent results.

Recommendations

Inspect the tape and casing regularly for signs of wear; avoid dropping the tool from height and keep the tape dry to extend service life. When measuring long spans, support the tape at intervals to reduce strain on the retraction mechanism. Store the tape measure in a tool pouch or box to protect it from dust and heavy impacts.
