Choosing the Right Tape Measure
A standard 5m to 8m tape covers most site and joinery tasks, while a longer tape or a measuring wheel, such as the Dargan 12 inch wheel, is better suited to larger distances like site boundaries or driveways. A magnetic tip end hook helps when measuring alone against steel surfaces without needing a second person to hold the end.
Frequently Asked Questions
What length tape measure do I need for general site work?
5m to 8m covers most day to day measuring tasks, longer tapes (16m plus) suit larger areas or outdoor measuring.
What is a measuring wheel used for?
Measuring longer distances quickly, such as site boundaries, driveways or large rooms, without needing to reel out a tape repeatedly.
What is the difference between a combination square and a try square?
A combination square, such as Hultafors, adjusts to different measurements and angles, a try square is fixed at 90 degrees for simpler, quicker checks.
Do you stock digital measuring tools?
Yes, including digital vernier calipers from Sealey for precise measurements.
What is a magnetic tip tape measure used for?
Allowing the tape to grip a steel surface, useful for measuring alone without a second person holding the end.
