Stabila Pocket Tapes Specialize in Determining Short Distances
The Stabila Pocket Tape Measures come in compact casings, measuring lengths up to 26 feet. If your work won’t often call for measuring longer lengths, why carry all the extra bulk around? These compact tapes can safely store away in a pant pocket, fit into a tool belt, or clip directly to your belt without providing more mass or weight than is necessary.
What’s the Big Deal?
Stabila has four Pocket Tape Measure models available. These compact tapes – the BM 100 and BM 300 lines – come in both Imperial and Imperial/Metric markings. The Stabila BM 100 Pocket Tape Measures come in 10 ft, 16 ft, and 26 ft lengths while the BM 300 line comes in 16 ft and 26 ft lengths.
Of course, the major selling point of a pocket tape measure will likely revolve around the size and weight of the tool. Their weights range between 0.35 – 1.15 lbs, depending on the model and the length of the tape inside.
All of the Stabila Pocket Tape Measures come with a curved steel blade and feature an integrated spring mechanism that automatically retracts the tape. A moveable metal hook ensures that your internal and external measurements stay true. There are some marked differences between the two lines, however. Check out the particulars of each line below!
