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.

Use a sharp pencil or fine marking tool when transferring precise measurements onto a workpiece.
For longer measurements, ask another person to hold the hook or secure it carefully against the starting edge.
Allow the blade to retract in a controlled manner rather than letting it snap rapidly into the casing.
Measure from the same reference edge throughout a project to help maintain consistent results.

Pull the casing away from the starting point while extending the blade to the required distance.
Keep the blade straight, flat and aligned with the direction of measurement.
Read the measurement at the required endpoint using the 1mm metric graduations.
Mark the measurement clearly before moving the tape.
