Stanley Dual Lock Tape 5m/16ft

The Stanley Dual Lock Tape 5m/16ft is a versatile and reliable tool designed for both professional and DIY enthusiasts. This tape measure combines durability, precision, and user-friendly features, making it an essential item in any toolkit.

Features

The Dual Lock Tape features a sleek and ergonomic design that is both functional and visually appealing. The tape measure is housed in a robust, shock-resistant case that protects it from drops and impacts. The case is fitted with an ergonomic bi-material grip, ensuring comfort during prolonged use. The bright yellow blade is easy to read, with clear and legible markings in both metric and imperial units2. This dual measurement system makes it versatile for various applications, whether you’re working on a construction site or a home improvement project.

Material and Build

Constructed from high-quality materials, the Dual Lock Tape is built to withstand the rigors of daily use. The blade is coated with Tylon™, a special coating that enhances durability and provides greater wear resistance compared to standard lacquered blades. This coating ensures that the blade markings remain clear and readable over time, even with frequent use. The blade is 19mm wide, providing a stable and easy-to-read surface. The tape measure also features a TRU-ZERO™ hook, which moves back and forth to account for the thickness of the hook, ensuring precise inner and outer measurements.

Functionality

One of the standout features of the Dual Lock Tape is its innovative dual locking mechanism. This mechanism automatically locks the blade as you extend it, preventing uncontrolled retraction and ensuring accurate measurements. When gentle pressure is applied to the button, the blade retracts smoothly and controlled. This dual lock system provides added safety and convenience, making it easier to take measurements without the blade snapping back unexpectedly.
The tape measure also boasts an impressive stand-out length of up to 1.75 meters, allowing you to measure longer distances without the blade bending or collapsing1. This feature is particularly useful when working alone or in situations where you need to measure overhead or across large surfaces.

Versatility

The Dual Lock Tape is incredibly versatile and suitable for a wide range of applications. Whether you’re measuring for carpentry, plumbing, electrical work, or general home improvement, this tape measure is up to the task. Its compact size and integrated belt clip make it easy to carry around, ensuring that you always have it on hand when needed. The tape measure’s durability and precision make it a reliable tool for both professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts.

Eco-Friendly Features

An added benefit of the Dual Lock Tape is its eco-friendly design. The durable materials and long-lasting blade reduce the need for frequent replacements, minimizing waste and contributing to a more sustainable approach to tool use.

Care and Maintenance

Maintaining the Stanley Dual Lock Tape is straightforward. The Tylon™ coated blade can be wiped clean with a damp cloth to remove dirt and debris, ensuring that the markings remain clear and readable. The shock-resistant case protects the tape measure from damage, but it’s still a good idea to store it in a dry place to prevent rust and corrosion.

The Dual Lock Tape is a practical, versatile, and eco-friendly tool. Its thoughtful design, durable construction, and convenient features make it an excellent choice for anyone looking to take precise measurements with ease. Whether you’re a professional tradesperson or a DIY enthusiast, this tape measure offers a reliable and stylish solution for all your measuring needs.
