How accurate is the measurement?

The Draper Surveyors Tape is designed for accurate measurements. Always ensure the tape is fully extended and taut for the best results.

Can I use this tape in extreme temperatures?

While the fibreglass construction is resistant to temperature changes, avoid extreme heat or cold conditions. Store it in a moderate environment when not in use.

How should I store the tape?

Store the tape in its case in a dry place, away from direct sunlight.

What if the tape breaks?

Unfortunately, it is not repairable. Consider purchasing a replacement.

Check for obstructions in the case. Clean the tape and lubricate the winding mechanism if necessary.
