Draper Soft Grip Tape Measure Imperial & Metric 10ft / 3m 16mm

This compact 10ft/3m Draper Soft Grip Tape Measure with a 16mm blade width is the perfect choice for smaller measuring tasks, fitting comfortably in pockets and tool belts whilst delivering professional accuracy. Ideal for interior work, carpentry, and general site measurements where portability is key, this size strikes the perfect balance between convenience and functionality. The tough impact-resistant ABS case features a comfortable soft grip that reduces hand fatigue during extended use, whilst the blade locking button ensures secure positioning for hands-free measurements. The intelligent hold and measure function locks the tape firmly in place, with a dedicated button on the base controlling the return speed to prevent blade damage and sudden snap-back. The power return nylon-coated blade displays clear black and red graduations in both metric (metres, centimetres, millimetres) and imperial (feet, inches, 1/8", 1/16") units. The yellow wear-resistant coating protects against abrasion, whilst stud centre markings every 16 inches aid in framing work. The self-aligning end hook guarantees accurate internal and external measurements every time.
