Tape Measures

Tape measures are one of the most essential measuring tools on any building or trade site — used for measuring lengths, distances, room dimensions, formwork layouts and material cuts across all trades. At BetonTools, we stock professional tape measures for builders, concreters, tilers, carpenters and tradies across Australia.

Choosing the right tape measure
Tape measures are available in a range of lengths — most commonly 5m, 8m and 10m — with longer tapes suited to site layout and setting out work. Key features to consider include blade width (wider blades have a longer standout, allowing you to extend the tape further without it buckling), blade coating (nylon or mylar coating extends blade life), and lock mechanism quality for holding the blade in position. Metric and dual metric/imperial graduation are available. Magnetic hooks are useful when measuring alone, and hi-visibility blade markings improve accuracy in low-light site conditions.
