The Tolsen 35013 Steel Measuring Tape 30M measures distances up to 100 feet using a 12.5mm wide steel blade. An integrated 4:1 gear ratio retracts the tape faster than standard 1:1 manual reels. Dual-scale markings provide both metric and imperial units for diverse surveying tasks.
Key Features
- 4:1 Gear Ratio: With a 4:1 internal gear ratio, the reel retracts 4x faster. One handle rotation spins the internal drum four times.
- ABS Housing: Under the impact-resistant ABS shell, the gears stay protected from drops. High-density plastic resists damage from road dust or debris.
- 12.5mm Steel Blade: Despite the 30M length, the 12.5mm steel blade resists stretching under tension. Heat-treated steel ensures the 100ft tape maintains linear accuracy.
- Dual-Scale Markings: With metric and imperial graduations, the blade provides measurement in two units. Clear black-on-yellow print prevents reading errors in low light.
- Ergonomic Handle: Pure material retracting gear with a molded grip. Prevents hand fatigue during repetitive winding on large construction projects.
