An ADA trade tape measure in 5m, 8m, and 10m lengths. Steel blade, 25mm wide on the two shorter tapes and a heavy 32mm on the 10m, so the blade stands out further before it buckles.
The ribbed rubber case takes drops off benches and ladders, and the front lock holds the measurement where you set it.
Frequently Asked Questions
What are the main differences between the RubTape 5, 8, and 10?
The RubTape 5 and 8 both use a 25 mm steel blade, compact and tough for everyday use. The RubTape 10 uses a 32 mm blade, providing extra toughness and better readability for larger jobs.
Is the casing strong enough for site drops?
Yes, the ribbed rubber casing is shockproof and designed to withstand impact from drops or rough handling on active trade sites.
Wide blade stands off further before buckling; 32mm on the 10m model.
Rubber shockproof case survives site drops.
Front blade lock holds the reading while you mark.
Hook the end, pull, and lock the blade to transfer measurements single-handed. Let the blade retract under control; a free-flying steel tape is how eyes get injured.
A steel tape: keep it clear of live electrical work. Choose the length before you buy; a 10m tape is heavier in the pouch all day.
