Stabila pocket tapes specialize in determining short distances

Stabila Pocket tape measures come in compact cases, measuring lengths up to 26 feet. If your job doesn’t often require measuring longer lengths, why carry all that extra bulk? These compact ribbons can be safely stowed in a trouser pocket, slip into a tool belt, or clip directly to your belt without providing more bulk or weight than needed.



What’s the big deal?

Stabila offers four models of pocket tape measure. These compact tapes – the BM 100 and BM 300 ranges – are available in imperial and imperial / metric marking. The Stabila BM 100 pocket tape measures are available in 10 ‘, 16’ and 26 ‘lengths while the BM 300 line is available in 16’ and 26 ‘lengths.

Of course, the biggest selling point of a pocket-sized tape measure will likely revolve around the size and weight of the tool. Their weight varies between 0.35 and 1.15 lbs, depending on the model and the length of the tape inside.

All Stabila pocket tape measures come with a curved steel blade and have a built-in spring mechanism that automatically retracts the tape. A movable metal hook ensures that your internal and external measurements stay true. There are, however, marked differences between the two lines. Check Out The Details Of Each Line Below!
