EMTOP Fibreglass Tape Measure Long Distance EMTP85001

For setting out, a wind-up fibreglass tape is easier to handle than a rigid rule. The blade is light, lies flat over rough ground and returns to the reel on a folding crank handle, so one person can run a line and wind it back quickly.

Builders, landscapers and surveyors use one to measure plots, mark out drainage and cable trenches, check diagonals for square and lay out large slabs. Wipe mud from the blade as it comes back in, and avoid dragging it across sharp edges.
