Vogels Tape Measure 5m with Brake, Magnetic Hook and 2-Component Grip 141005

Measuring long distances repeatedly often means the tape won't stay put, slips off the edge, or is hard to hold. This 5-metre tape measure solves that with a magnetic end hook that grips steel surfaces, a thumb-operated brake to lock the blade at any length, and a soft 2-component grip that stays comfortable even during all-day use.
