FAQs

How do I ensure accurate measurements?

Always use the tru-zero end hook correctly, ensuring it is flush against the surface for outside measurements and hooked securely for inside measurements.

How do I clean the tape measure?

Use a damp cloth to wipe the blade and casing. Ensure the tape measure is completely dry before storing.

Is the tape measure waterproof?

It is water-resistant, but not fully waterproof. Avoid prolonged exposure to water.

What is BladeArmor?

BladeArmor is a coating on the blade that enhances durability and abrasion resistance, especially at the start of the blade to reduce breakage.

What is the auto-locking mechanism?

The auto-locking mechanism holds the blade in place when extended, allowing for easy one-handed operation.

What is the benefit of the tru-zero end hook?

The tru-zero end hook moves to compensate for accurate inside and outside measurements.

What materials is the casing made of?

The casing is made of high-impact, chrome-plated ABS plastic.

Troubleshooting

Blade retracts unevenly or sticks.

Check for debris or obstructions inside the casing. Clean the blade and mechanism with a dry cloth. If the issue persists, the tape measure may need to be replaced.

Measurements are inaccurate.

Ensure the tru-zero end hook is moving freely. Check the blade for any damage or wear. Replace the tape measure if necessary.

The auto-locking mechanism fails.

Inspect the locking mechanism for dirt or damage. Clean any debris and ensure the locking components are moving freely. If the issue continues, consider replacement.
