Product Information

Full details

This Bosch 5-meter tape measure is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals needing accurate measurements for tasks like decorating, carpentry, and general home repairs. Its key benefit is the intuitive autolock function for effortless, stable measurements and the integrated pencil clip for one-handed marking. A minor caveat is that the tape's nylon coating, while durable, may eventually show wear with very heavy, frequent use.

FAQs

What is the accuracy standard for this tape measure?

This tape measure meets the accuracy requirements according to MID II standards, ensuring high precision for your measurements.

How long is the tape measure?

The tape measure has a total length of 5 meters.

Can I use any pencil with the integrated clip?

The pencil clip is designed to securely hold standard-sized pencils. Pencils with hexagonal or round profiles usually work best.

How do I best maintain the tape measure?

Wipe it clean with a damp cloth after use, store it in a dry environment, and avoid creasing the tape to ensure longevity and accuracy.

What does the 'Autolock' function do?

The Autolock function allows the tape to stay extended at the desired length without retracting, providing a stable grip for accurate measurements and marking.

Is this tape measure suitable for outdoor use?

The robust housing and nylon-coated tape offer durability, but prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions should be avoided. Always store it dry.

What is the width of the tape?

The tape is 22 mm wide, which contributes to its stability when extended up to 2 meters.

Troubleshooting

Tape measure does not lock in place

Ensure the tape is extended past the initial few centimeters where the lock mechanism engages. If the issue persists, check for any debris in the lock mechanism and clean if necessary.

Autolock function feels stiff or unresponsive

Gently clean the tape near the locking area and the housing slot. Extend and retract the tape multiple times to loosen the mechanism. Avoid forcing the lock.

Pencil clip does not hold pencil securely

Ensure you are using a standard-sized pencil. Try a pencil with a hexagonal shape for a firmer grip. The clip is designed for specific diameters; very thick or thin pencils may not fit optimally.

Tape hook is damaged or loose

Inspect the end hook for damage. While small repairs might be possible for minor bends, significant damage may affect accuracy. Contact customer support if the hook is severely compromised.

  • Effortless and accurate measurements with autolock.
  • Durable nylon-coated tape for stability.
  • Convenient one-handed marking with the pencil clip.
  • Ergonomic design with soft grip for comfort.
  • High precision according to MID II standards.

Cons

  • Autolock mechanism may require a brief adjustment period for some users.
  • While robust, the housing may be susceptible to scuffs from rough job sites.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This tape measure requires no assembly. Simply extend the tape and engage the autolock by holding the tape stationary. To retract, release the lock mechanism. The pencil clip is integrated and ready for use with a standard pencil.

Compatibility: The tape measure is universally compatible with standard measuring tasks. The pencil clip is designed to hold most standard hexagonal or round pencils securely.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Wipe the tape and housing with a damp cloth to remove dirt and dust. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
  2. Storage: Store in a dry place. Ensure the tape is fully retracted before storing to prevent damage to the mechanism or tape edge.
  3. Tape Care: Avoid bending or creasing the tape excessively, especially near the end hook, to maintain its accuracy and integrity.
