Tape Measures

Measuring Tapes for Every Job

Construction Fasteners and Tools offers tape measures for a wide range of applications. If you're a general contractor, you can choose a tape measure for assessing the size of a doorway or window or cutting accurately sized pieces of lumber for a construction project. Land surveyors can use them when performing site surveys.

Tape measures aren't just for industrial use. Homeowners need them for performing basic home repairs and undertaking do-it-yourself projects. They're useful for determining whether an appliance or piece of furniture will fit in a space, woodworking in a garage and measuring the inside of a surface, such as a window or door frame.

Tape measures come in imperial and metric models as well as dual-scale options that provide both. They're also available in different lengths, with 12 feet (3.66 meters), 25 feet (7.62 meters) and 100 feet (30.48 meters) being the most common. Other buying factors to consider are the material of the tape, how easy it is to read and whether it contains a locking mechanism to prevent the blade from slipping during retraction.
