D-Tech Measuring Tape 3m x 16mm with Belt Clip

At a Glance: Compact 3m measuring tape with a 16mm Class II steel blade, 1mm graduations, standard hook and convenient belt clip.

The D-Tech DTME0316 Measuring Tape is a practical, easy-to-carry measuring tool designed for everyday measuring, marking and layout work. Its 3 metre steel blade provides a useful balance between compact portability and measuring reach, while the clearly marked 1mm graduations support accurate measurements across a wide variety of jobs. The durable ABS plastic casing helps protect the internal mechanism during regular use, and the retractable blade allows the tape to be returned neatly into the housing when the measurement is complete. A standard end hook assists with positioning the blade against edges and surfaces, while the integrated belt clip and built-in lanyard make the tape convenient to carry around the workshop or jobsite.

Compact everyday measuring performance

Designed for DIY users, contractors, fabricators and woodworkers, this compact D-Tech measuring tape keeps reliable measurement close at hand. Its Class II accuracy rating, millimetre graduations and convenient carrying features make it a useful addition to any toolbox, workbench or tool belt.

Pro Tips

  • Use a sharp pencil or fine marking tool when transferring precise measurements onto a workpiece.
