Stanley STHT34297-8 30m Powerlock Measuring Tape

Key specs include a 30 m length, a fiberglass-reinforced blade with a steel core, metric and imperial graduations, a locking button for secure measurements, a robust hook tab, and a carry pouch for transport. It’s designed to be non-conductor to electrical hazards and includes an adhesive back for surface mounting if needed.

Extend the blade to the desired length, press the PowerLock button to lock the blade in place, take the measurement, then release the lock to retract the blade slowly to avoid damage.

The blade shows both metric (meters and centimeters) and imperial (feet and inches) graduations. To read, align the end hook with the starting point and note the corresponding marks on the dual-scale, switching between metric and imperial depending on your unit preference.

Best used for long layout tasks such as floor plans, room or building layouts, outdoor surveys, fencing or deck measurements, and any job requiring accuracy over longer distances.

Wipe the blade clean after use, avoid moisture and dirt, retract the blade slowly to prevent kinks, and keep it stored in the included carry pouch when not in use.
