Long tapes

Komelon measuring tapes

Long measuring tapes are designed for accurately measuring large distances. They are indispensable for professionals in the fields of construction, surveying, gardening and landscaping, sports facilities, and infrastructure projects.

What are measuring tapes used for?

Measuring tapes are used when a standard tape measure is not sufficient. Some common applications are:

• Measuring construction sites, warehouses, and halls
• Measuring sports fields and recreational areas
• Measurements in agriculture and horticulture
• Determining distances in road construction and other large-scal projects

The combination of length, robustness, and ease of use makes measuring tapes a reliable measuring instrument in any professional environment.

Different types of measuring tapes

Komelon measuring tapes are available in two main variants: steel measuring tapes and fiberglass measuring tapes.

Steel measuring tapes:

• Robust ABS frame that can withstand extreme conditions.
• Shock-absorbing rubber buffers.
• Extruded nylon coating for a longer service life.
• Quick-action gear for faster retraction.
• Ergonomic housing with comfortable rubber grip.

Fiberglass measuring tapes:

• Double PVC-coated fiberglass tape for long-lasting use.

What should you consider when buying a tape measure?

When choosing a tape measure, it is important to pay attention to the length and material. Steel tape measures offer maximum precision and wear resistance, while fiberglass tape measures are lighter and more resistant to weathering and wear. The housing and handle also play a role: a robust construction and a comfortable handle ensure that the tape measure remains comfortable to use even during lengthy tasks. Finally, additional features such as a protective coating on the tape, a quick-roll-up mechanism, a tape cleaner, or dual scaling can significantly increase user-friendliness.

The end hook of a tape measure is the plastic or metal part at the end of the tape, which may or may not be magnetic, and which allows you to attach the tape to an object or measuring point. Depending on the intended use, there are different types of end hooks, each with a different zero point.

End hook type:

Type A: Zero point ±10 cm from the end attachment

Type E: Zero point on the inside of the hook

Type G: Zero point at the end attachment and on the inside of the folding claw

Type H: Zero point at the end attachment and on the inside of the magnetic hook
