Question 1

What exactly is the SATA GL91361SM Fiberglass Long Tape with Metric/SAE Scale, and what makes it useful?

Accepted Answer

It's a durable fiberglass measuring tape, 15 meters (49 feet) long, with dual Metric and SAE scales. Its wide 13 mm tape, steel end hook, auto-rewind mechanism, and ergonomic handle make long-distance measurements accurate and comfortable for professional or DIY projects.

Question 2

How long is the tape and what measurement scales does it provide?

Accepted Answer

The tape is 15 meters (49 feet) long and features dual scales: metric (millimeters/meters) and SAE (feet/inches) for versatility across different tasks.

Question 3

What materials and physical features does this tape have?

Accepted Answer

It uses fiberglass construction for strength and flexibility, a 13 mm wide tape for stability, a steel end hook for slip-free starts, and an auto-rewind mechanism plus a rubberized ergonomic handle for comfortable use.

Question 4

How does the auto-rewind mechanism work and how should I use it properly?

Accepted Answer

When you release the lock, the tape retracts smoothly back into the housing. To use it, extend the tape to your measurement, lock it if needed for accuracy, take your reading, then release the lock to retract slowly while guiding the tape back to its housing.

Question 5

Why choose fiberglass over other tape materials, and what benefits does the 13 mm width provide?

Accepted Answer

Fiberglass tapes resist stretching and wear, making them suitable for outdoor, rough, or long-duration use. The 13 mm width offers improved stability and easier readability during extended measurements, reducing flutter and sag.

Question 6

What are the best use cases for this long tape?

Accepted Answer

Ideal for large-scale projects like construction site measurements, landscaping layouts, property measurements, site surveys, and any job requiring long, straight measurements without repeated rechecking.

Question 7

How should I read and interpret the metric and SAE markings for accuracy?

Accepted Answer

On the metric side, read the millimeter and meter marks clearly; on the SAE side, read feet and inches. Ensure you align the end hook with your starting point and read the measurement from the same side to avoid parallax error.

Question 8

What maintenance or care does this tape require to keep it performing well?

Accepted Answer

Wipe it down after use to remove dirt and moisture, keep it retracted when not in use, store in a dry place away from direct sun, and inspect for nicks or kinks in the tape or end hook to prevent measurement errors.

Question 9

Are there safety tips I should follow when using a fiberglass long tape?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Avoid snapping the tape back into the housing, keep fingers clear of the end hook during retraction, and don’t bend or twist the tape excessively. Use the ergonomic handle to maintain a secure grip and protect your hands.

Question 10

Do you have comparable fiberglass long tapes on Fepy that I could consider as alternatives?

Accepted Answer

Yes. For similar fiberglass long tapes on Fepy, you can browse these options: https://fepy.com/products/sata-gl9100-series-fiberglass-long-tape-30m-metric-sae and https://fepy.com/products/sata-gl9150-fiberglass-long-tape-50m-metric-sae and https://fepy.com/products/fepy-fiberglass-long-tape-20m-metric-sae. These provide different lengths while maintaining fiberglass construction and dual-scale functionality.

Question 11

How do I decide between this 15 m model and other length options for my project?

Accepted Answer

If your job involves long distances with fewer stops, a longer tape (like 30 m or 50 m) can save time by reducing re-measurements. For tight spaces or frequent repositioning, a shorter model might be easier to maneuver. Consider the project scale, required accuracy, and how portable you need the tape to be when choosing.
