Description
Overview:
The Stanley Pocket Tape 5m/16ft (Width 19mm) Loose, model 1-30-696, is a compact, dual‐scale tape measure designed for accurate everyday measuring on site and at home. It uses a durable steel blade with a Tylon coated surface to resist wear and corrosion, backed by a bi‐material case that provides a stable, comfortable grip. The 19 mm wide blade improves readability and stand stability, while the positive lock holds your measurement securely. A Tru‐Zero end hook supports precise internal and external measurements, and a built‐in belt clip keeps the tape close to hand. With Class II accuracy and clear metric and imperial graduations (5 m and 16 ft), it suits construction, workshop, landscaping, and garden machinery tasks where reliable, repeatable measurement is needed.
