Description
This basic 30 metre open reel tape measure is an affordable solution for measuring long distances. It is designed for simple measuring tasks that do not require special features or extreme durability.
The tape measure has a durable 30 metre steel tape. Steel is a strong material that does not stretch in use and withstands tension. The tape has a clear, easy-to-read millimetre scale printed in black on a white background, which makes reading easier in different conditions. The tape width is standard for measures of this size class.
The tape measure’s frame is made of light plastic, and its open design keeps most dirt from building up inside the reel and makes the tape easier to clean. The integrated winding crank lets you wind the tape back onto the reel after use. The end of the frame has a simple ground spike that can hold the measure in the ground during measuring, which makes the work easier.
This open reel tape measure is well suited, for example, to basic measurements in the yard and garden, preliminary marking of sports fields or other similar tasks that need a long tape for occasional use. Its simple design and low price make it an accessible tool for many needs.
Intended use:
- Yard and garden measurements: For approximate dimensioning and planning of lawns, planting areas, paths and other garden structures. The steel tape stays straight when pulled out.
- Leisure and sports: For preliminary marking of playing fields, throwing areas or other event areas and for estimating distances. Light to carry with you.
- Simple measuring tasks: For various home and leisure projects that need a long tape without high accuracy requirements.

Open reel tape measure 30 m instructions for use:
Release the tape by unrolling it to the length you need. Fix the loop or ground spike at the end of the tape to the starting point, if possible. Pull the tape straight across the distance to be measured. Read the measurement from the tape’s scale at the required point. To wind the tape back onto the reel, turn the winding crank clockwise while guiding the tape evenly onto the reel with your other hand. Clean loose dirt off the tape before winding it in. Store the measure in a dry place after use.
Warnings:
- Do not expose the tape measure to extreme heat or open flame; the plastic frame and steel tape can be damaged.
- Handle the winding crank and ground spike with care. The ground spike may be sharp.
- Avoid sharply bending or crushing the tape, as this can weaken it.
- Do not overstretch the tape; it may stretch permanently or break.
- Keep out of the reach of small children.
Frequently asked questions (FAQ):
- How do I clean the tape? Wipe the tape with a clean, dry or slightly damp cloth. Dry the tape thoroughly before winding it in.
- Does the steel tape stretch? The steel tape does not stretch in use, which ensures measuring accuracy even over long distances.
- Is the scale durable? The scale is printed on the tape and may wear over time with heavy use or abrasion.
- Can the tape be replaced? In basic models of this type, replacing the tape is usually not possible or worthwhile.
Recycling instructions:
A tape measure that is no longer in use should be disposed of according to local waste management instructions. The plastic frame and steel tape can usually be sorted into energy waste or mixed waste. Any metal parts (such as the ground spike) can be taken to metal collection. Packaging materials (cardboard and plastic) should be sorted separately for recycling.
