The Komelon Gripper 8m tape measure combines a long dual-scale blade with a bright, easy-to-spot case for regular measuring and marking work. Its 25mm blade carries both metric and imperial graduations, while the true-zero hook allows inside and outside measurements to start from the same reference point.

Best For Everyday Trade Measuring

• Measuring room lengths and wall runs.
• Checking timber and sheet material before cutting.
• Taking internal dimensions such as openings and recesses.
• Shopfitting, installation and maintenance work.
• General building, joinery, plumbing and site measuring.

Why Choose the Komelon Gripper 8m Tape

The hi-vis green and black case makes the tape easier to spot in a tool bag or busy work area. A nylon coating helps protect the printed blade markings from abrasion, dirt and rust, while the rubber overmould adds protection around the ABS case.

The true-zero end hook supports both inside and outside measuring, and the top lock holds the blade at the chosen reading while you mark the workpiece. Class II accuracy provides readings within ±0.5mm at 1m.

Key Benefits

• 8m / 26ft reach: Suitable for room dimensions, materials and general site measuring.
• 25mm nylon-coated blade: Helps protect the graduations during regular use.
• Metric and imperial graduations: Read millimetres or inches from the same blade.
• Class II accuracy: Suitable for dependable everyday measuring work.
• True-zero end hook: Supports inside and outside measurements from the same zero reference.
• Top blade lock: Holds the blade at the selected reading while marking.
• Hi-vis case: Green and black colouring helps the tape stand out in busy work areas.

Where It Can Be Used

Suitable for building, joinery, plumbing, shopfitting, maintenance and general workshop tasks where an 8m tape with both metric and imperial scales is useful.

How To Use

• Choose the metric or imperial scale required for the job.
• Hook the blade over an edge for an outside measurement, or press the hook against a surface for an inside measurement.
• Extend the blade to the required point and engage the top lock when you need to hold the reading.
• Mark or transfer the measurement, then release the lock.
• Allow the blade to retract under control rather than snapping it back into the case at full speed.

Care and Safe Use

Wipe the blade clean after use and keep it dry. Check the blade for bends, tears, kinks or damaged edges, and replace the tape if damage prevents reliable or safe use.
