FAQs

Is this tape measure suitable for outdoor construction work?

Yes, its polyester-coated stainless-steel blade and durable casing make it well-suited for various outdoor conditions, especially those involving moisture.

How accurate are the inkjet printed measurements?

The inkjet printing is highly accurate and provides optimal contrast for precision measuring, meeting Type approved standards according to EU Cl I.

Can the end-hook be used for measurements on curved surfaces?

The end-hook is designed to adjust for internal measurements and provides a secure point for external measurements. For curved surfaces, ensure the hook is placed as perpendicularly as possible for best results.

What is the 'bump-stop with an anti-wear function'?

This feature cushions the impact when the blade fully retracts, protecting both the blade and the end-hook from damage during repeated use.

How should I maintain the tape measure for long-term use?

Regularly wipe the blade clean with a damp cloth after use, store it in a dry place, and ensure the retraction mechanism is free of debris.

What material is the casing made of?

The casing is made from high-impact ABS plastics and is rubber-coated for improved grip and impact resistance.

Troubleshooting

Blade does not retract fully.

Check the blade and casing for obstructions like dirt or debris. Gently pull the blade out further and try retracting again. Ensure the tape is not kinked.

Markings are difficult to read.

Wipe the blade with a damp cloth to remove any dirt or moisture obscuring the inkjet-printed graduations. Ensure adequate lighting conditions when measuring.

End-hook feels loose or does not adjust properly.

Inspect the end-hook for damage or debris. Ensure it can move freely. The hook is designed to slide; minor play is normal for internal measurements.

Casing feels slippery.

The rubber coating is designed for grip. If it feels excessively slippery, ensure there is no oil or grease on your hands or the casing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ideal for wet and demanding work environments.
  • Highly accurate measurements due to precise inkjet printing.
  • Durable construction with stainless steel and impact-resistant casing.
  • Ergonomic design with rubber coating for a secure grip.
  • Built-in features like bump-stop and adjustable end-hook enhance usability and longevity.

Cons

  • Shorter length may not be suitable for all measuring tasks.
  • Specialized design for wet environments might be overkill for dry conditions.
  • Inkjet printing, while precise, could potentially wear over extended extreme use compared to etched markings.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Hultafors Tape - PRSS requires no setup out of the box. It is ready for immediate use upon purchase.

Compatibility: This tape measure is a standalone tool and does not interface with other devices.

Care: To maintain optimal performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: After use, especially in wet or dirty conditions, wipe the blade clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could damage the coating or markings.
  2. Storage: Store the tape measure in a dry place to prevent rust on any exposed metal parts.
  3. Blade Retraction: Ensure the blade retracts smoothly. If debris is suspected, gently extend and retract the blade multiple times. Do not force the retraction if resistance is met.
  4. End-Hook: Keep the end-hook free of debris to ensure accurate readings, especially for internal measurements.
