The OX Trade Double Locking Tape Measure 8M is a tough, dependable tape built to handle the rigours of site work. Its standout feature is a patented dual locking mechanism that holds the blade firmly in place, giving you a secure hold when measuring and marking so the tape stays exactly where you set it. The tape is housed in a shock proof tuff casing designed to absorb knocks and drops, helping it survive the everyday bumps of the trade. It is also lanyard capable, so you can secure the tape to a belt or fixing point when working at height or in busy conditions, reducing the risk of dropping it. With an 8m / 5m blade, it offers plenty of reach for framing, fit out and general measuring tasks. The result is a practical, hard wearing tape measure that keeps working when others give out. Part of the OX Trade range of hand tools made for tradespeople who need reliable gear day in, day out. A robust measuring tool that belongs on the tool belt.
