Uken 5m Measuring Tape

Length: 5 meters (16 feet). Material: reinforced ABS plastic body with a hardened steel blade. Readability: laser-etched, high‑visibility scale that’s five times brighter for easy reading. Mechanisms: ratchet-stop sliding blade for consistent accuracy, lock/unlock button for one‑hand operation, and a hook for measuring from awkward positions. Additions: belt loop clip for quick access and a textured, non‑slip grip for comfortable handling.

Engage the lock to hold the blade in place for stable measurements, then press the unlock button to retract the blade. This lets you measure with one hand while keeping the blade secure and under control.

The belt clip keeps the tape measure within easy reach, freeing both hands for marking or placing objects. It also helps prevent drops by keeping the tool safely attached to your belt or pocket during movement.

The integrated hook is designed to grab onto edges, corners, or obstacles, allowing you to take accurate measurements from difficult angles or around objects without losing control of the blade.

The scale is laser-etched and highly visible, with a brightness-optimized impression that’s significantly easier to read in both bright and dim environments, helping reduce misreads on the job.

Ideal for home improvement tasks, carpentry, cabinetry, tiling, room layout planning, and other DIY projects where quick, precise 5-meter measurements are needed.

Retract the blade slowly with the lock engaged when not in use, wipe the blade and housing to remove dust, avoid exposure to moisture, and store in a dry place. Use the belt clip to keep it secure when moving between tasks.

Keep fingers away from the blade tip during extension, use the lock to prevent accidental retraction, and avoid yanking the blade out too quickly. Store safely with the blade retracted when not in use.
