Product Information

Full details

The C.K Softech Tape Measure is designed for tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable, comfortable measuring tool for everyday tasks. Its standout benefit is the soft-feel grip combined with a nylon-coated blade that resists wear during frequent use, though users should note that at 3m in length, it is intended for interior finish work and smaller measurements rather than large-scale construction or long-distance surveying.

FAQs

What is the accuracy class of this tape?

This tape is accurate to 73/362/EEC Class II standards.

Can I use this for measuring metal surfaces?

While the true-zero hook works on metal, this model does not feature a magnetic end hook.

What is the primary benefit of the nylon coating?

The nylon coating provides significant abrasion resistance, protecting the printed markings from wearing away during regular use.

Does this tape measure come with a belt clip?

Yes, it includes a convenient belt clip for easy portability on the job site.

Are the markings metric?

Yes, the tape is calibrated in standard metric measurements including 400mm joist center markings.

How should I clean the blade?

Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the blade clean. Avoid using harsh chemical solvents that could degrade the nylon coating.

Troubleshooting

Blade fails to retract smoothly

Clean the blade with a dry cloth to remove sticky residue or debris and ensure the blade is not bent.

Locking button feels stiff

Ensure no dust has entered the locking mechanism; a quick blast of compressed air can often clear the debris.

Measurement feels inaccurate

Check the end hook for debris that might prevent it from sliding fully to the true-zero position or check if the hook has been bent from an impact.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comfortable, non-slip grip
  • Highly durable nylon-coated blade
  • Accurate readings with true-zero hook
  • Convenient belt clip for easy portability
  • Easy-to-read joist markings

Cons

  • Limited 3m length may be short for large projects
  • ABS plastic may crack if subjected to high-impact drops
  • No magnetic hook for metal surfaces

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your C.K Softech Tape Measure, always guide the blade back into the housing rather than allowing it to snap back at full speed; high-velocity retraction can damage the end hook over time. Keep the blade clean by wiping it with a dry, lint-free cloth if it accumulates dust or debris. If the tape becomes wet, wipe it down immediately to prevent internal rust. The belt clip is compatible with most standard tool belts and pockets, ensuring the device remains accessible throughout your workday.
