GARANT Tape Measure mm/inch with Automatic Return | Accuracy Class II, 6.6, 9.8, and 16.4 ft (2, 3, and 5 m)
A tape measure that reads in millimeters and inches on the same blade, the GARANT mm/inch tape carries an EC accuracy class II rating with G1 calibration, the accuracy band professional users specify for checked measuring equipment, in a body made for shop conditions.
It comes in three lengths: 6.6, 9.8, and 16.4 ft (2, 3, and 5 m), so one model covers pocket bench work, layout, and full sheet or site measurement. The blade width follows the length, 0.5 in. (13 mm) on the 2 m and 3 m tapes and 0.6 in. (16 mm) on the 5 m. Pull, read, and rewind all day. The grip, the blade, and the damped return are built for exactly that repetition, whichever length rides on the belt.
- Glass-fibre-reinforced polyamide body built for daily shop handling
- Automatic return damped by special rubber elements that absorb recoil and protect the wrist
- Contact areas and stop button coated in 2-component Haptoprene for sure grip
- Teflon plain bearings for smooth, easy-running blade action
- Aluminum profile inserted on the underside so the body stands precisely for marking
Which jobs call for this tape measure?
A pocket tape with dual scales belongs anywhere layout and length checks happen in both unit systems.
Applications: layout and marking, incoming-goods checks, fixture and bench measuring, site and facility measuring, and fabrication length checks all read from the same blade.
Industries: metal fabrication, precision manufacturing, MRO operations, construction trades, and facility maintenance.
Users: machinists, fabricators, maintenance technicians, and inspectors.
Does this tape measure read in both millimeters and inches?
Yes. The blade carries mm and inch graduations together, so one tool serves drawings dimensioned in either system without conversion errors at the bench. For US teams working with European components and DIN drawings, the dual scale is the everyday feature.
What protects the tape and your wrist during rewind?
The automatic return runs through dampers of special rubber that absorb the reaction energy at the end of travel, so the blade does not snap back hard against the housing or your hand. That damping also extends blade life by softening the final impact, which is why the return mechanism is a wear point worth paying for on a tape used dozens of times a day.
What keeps the blade readable and wear-resistant?
A clear protective lacquer seals the blade against wear, and an anti-glare correction keeps the graduations legible under bright shop lighting or outdoor sun. That treatment earns its keep on a tape read dozens of times a shift, at arm’s length and at odd angles.
