Product Information
Full details
This Stanley Tylon Tape Measure is designed for DIY enthusiasts and professionals needing accurate measurements on job sites or around the house. Its primary benefit is the durable Tylon-coated blade combined with a lightweight, user-friendly design that includes a secure locking mechanism and convenient belt clip. A potential caveat is the matte finish, which may show dirt more readily than a gloss finish. Key features include its 8m length, metric measurements, a robust hook end, and a retractable mechanism for easy storage.

How do I clean the tape measure blade?
Wipe the blade with a dry or slightly damp cloth after each use. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
Is the belt clip removable?
The belt clip is integrated into the design for secure attachment and is not designed to be removable.
What is the purpose of the Tylon coating?

Can I use this tape measure for outdoor applications?

Troubleshooting
Blade does not lock securely
Ensure the blade is extended sufficiently for the lock to engage. Check for any debris obstructing the locking mechanism and clean if necessary. If the issue persists, the locking mechanism may be worn.
Tape measure does not retract smoothly
Check the blade for bends or dirt accumulation. Extend the blade fully and ensure it is straight before allowing it to retract. If dirt is present, clean the blade. Avoid forcing the retraction.
Markings are difficult to read
Ensure the tape measure is clean and that there is adequate lighting. The Tylon coating is designed for clarity, but extreme dirt or damage could obscure markings.
