Surveyors Tape Measure - 50m

Product Information

For those of you who need accurate measurements, whether it be in the garden or for construction purposes, sometimes a basic tape measure isn’t enough. They can be a bit flimsy to use and easily bend/move when moved, so they can actually end up being a real pain. If this sounds like a relatable issue, or if your tape measure just won’t cover a certain job you need to get done, then surveyors tape is for you and this review covers all you need to know about them. Similar to the surveyors tape in the first place, this product is made from an ergonomic plastic that is perfect for surveyors tape and is lightweight and robust. It doesn’t feel cheap and only costs middle money, so if you’re wanting surveyors tape for more casual use, especially around the garden or in building jobs, this is ideal for you. Its tape is made from fibreglass and has a hook on the end, which can be a pain if you’re only measuring flat ground but is typically useful in the garden. It retracts easily and is simple to use, so it has all that you need.

It’s expensive if you’re only going to be doing smaller jobs/smaller measurements, so only get this if you really need longer measurements taken. That said, it’s really suited to any job and if you’re not worried about price, we recommend just buying it for use in all jobs no matter how big. For 100m tape, the price is pretty good too, so it’s definitely good value for money. The measurement units on a tape can depend on what country you are buying one in. They can come with both metric and imperial measurements printed on either side of the tape, or they can have only metric or imperial units on the tape. Since you’re going to be outdoors using this item, most likely in the rain and cold if in England, you want it to be comfortable. Most surveying tapes are made from basic plastics such as ABS which are perfectly comfortable, so consider the material. Rubber casing is always ideal too which the HKB ® 1 piece measuring tape has. It might seem obvious but it’s an oversight a lot of professionals in the construction industry make. Do you have the right holder for... The design is a bit different to other products in this list, as it has a smaller rotary handle and is smaller in general, as well as being compact to make it foldable for storage purposes. It’s got a sleek design and feels highly ergonomic too. The tape itself is fibreglass material and is washable too, so it’s ideal for outdoor use. Winding and rewinding is simple and smooth and really, it doesn’t have any negatives when considering structural or functional features at all.Surveyors tapes come with a range of blade materials ideal for different purposes. Fibreglass is the most common material used for long tape blades due to its durability, accuracy and, crucially, its resistance to water, tearing and stretching. But steel surveyors tapes are still very popular and far better suited to certain applications. Surveyors tapes are even available in stainless steel although not many manufacturers offer such products. Only you will know which one's right for you! Metal tape measure blades can be made out of different materials including steel and stainless steel. While some land surveyors believe that a Tape Survey isn't a survey at all and a few others believe Tape Survey to be a meaningless term, actually a Surveyors Tape (sometimes referred to as a Tape Measure) is a valuable tool and Tape Surveys are important, in my opinion. In fact there are more than 5 types of Tapes used in Land Surveying for linear measurements. Just like fiberglass measuring tapes, cloth and linen tapes are not suitable where an accurate measurement needs to be taken. The cloth or linen tape stretch when tension is put on the line and shrinks when exposed to water.

If you need to take very accurate measurements with a tape measure, then the invar tape is the most accurate of all measuring tapes. Surveyors, why buy from The Tape Store?
