Product Information
Full details
The Minotaur 50m Surveyors Tape is an essential tool for construction professionals, land surveyors, and landscapers who require precise long-distance measurements in challenging outdoor conditions. It offers high durability through its fibre-reinforced PVC construction and impact-resistant housing, though its length and weight make it less suitable for quick, indoor-only measurements compared to shorter pocket tapes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Minotaur 50m Surveyors Tape, follow these usage and maintenance guidelines:
- Setup: Deploy the ground spike into soft earth to establish a fixed starting point. For hard surfaces, consider having an assistant hold the end hook firmly.
- Operation: Always pull the tape straight to maintain Class III accuracy; avoid excessive twisting which can cause the material to warp over time.
- Care: After use in wet or dirty conditions, wipe the tape clean with a damp cloth before winding it back into the ABS housing to prevent debris buildup inside the reel.
- Storage: Ensure the tape is fully dry before storing it in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the fibre-reinforced material.
