Tape Measure Stanley STHT37232-0 8 m Black Yellow Width 90 mm Depth 50 mm Height 150 mm

The STANLEY® CONTROL-LOCK™ 8M tape measure (25 mm blade width) is lightweight and compact with a rubber over-moulded case designed for a comfortable grip and convenient use. It delivers professional durability and an extended reach of 8 metres. The blade includes an integrated finger brake for controlled extension and retraction, and the first 80 mm are treated with BladeArmor® coating to resist abrasion and breakage. A double-sided print allows quick overhead measurements, and the bright yellow blade improves visibility on site. The tape comes with a detachable magnet and a multi-catch hook for secure attachment to various surfaces.

Advantages

The compact, lightweight design and rubber over-moulded case provide improved handling and user comfort. The integrated finger brake increases control during blade extension and retraction, reducing the risk of damage and extending tape life. BladeArmor® coating on the first 8 cm enhances durability at the most exposed section of the blade. Double-sided printing simplifies awkward and overhead measurements, while the detachable magnet and multi-catch hook add versatility for different work situations.

How to use

Retract the blade slowly and keep hands clear of the tape edge to avoid injury and to prolong blade life.

Recommendations

Store the tape in a dry place and avoid impacts to the case. Clean the blade occasionally and retract it under control to maintain the BladeArmor® coating and ensure long-term accuracy.
