Tapes & Measures

Precision and reliability start with a high-quality tape measure. We supply a comprehensive range of Stanley and Roughneck measuring tapes, designed to meet the demands of every job site—from compact pocket tapes for quick checks to long-reach fiberglass tapes for groundworks.

Whether you need the legendary standout of a FatMax or the high-visibility "E-Z Read" blade of a Roughneck, our collection ensures your measurements are spot on every time.

Stanley Tape Measures: The Industry Standard

Stanley is world-renowned for developing the most innovative and durable measuring tools on the market.

• Stanley FatMax® & FatMax Xtreme: The ultimate professional choice. These tapes feature a massive "standout" reach (up to 4.9m), allowing for easy one-person measurements. The blades are reinforced with BladeArmor® coating on the first few inches to prevent the most common cause of tape breakage.

• Stanley Control-Lock™: A modern favorite featuring an integrated finger brake, giving you total control over blade retraction and extension for safer, more precise measuring.

• Stanley PowerLock®: The classic chrome-cased tape used by generations of builders. Known for its "Tru-Zero" hook which moves to compensate for its own thickness, ensuring accurate inside and outside measurements.

• Tylon™ Coated Tapes: For high-traffic DIY and light trade use, these tapes offer great value with an anti-glare blade and a compact, cushioned grip case.

Roughneck Tape Measures: Built for the Site

Roughneck tools are engineered for "Trade Grade" performance, focusing on durability and ease of use in tough conditions.

• Roughneck E-Z Read® Series: Designed for speed and accuracy, these blades feature high-contrast markings every 1/8 inch, along with dedicated stud markings (16") and truss markings (40cm) to make framing and layout work effortless.

• Tough Tape & Pro Tapes: Housed in shockproof, non-slip rubber casings, Roughneck tapes are built to survive drops on concrete. The blades are typically nylon-coated for superior resistance to abrasion and rust.

• Long Tapes & Open Frames: For landscaping and site surveys, we stock Roughneck’s heavy-duty fiberglass long tapes (30m to 50m). These are non-stretch, moisture-resistant, and feature rapid-rewind mechanisms for efficiency.

Why Upgrade Your Measuring Tools?

A professional-grade tape measure is more than just a ruler in a box; it’s a precision instrument. Choosing Stanley or Roughneck provides:

• Class II Accuracy: European standard certification ensures a minimal margin of error.

• Superior Reach: Stronger steel allows for greater "standout," so the tape doesn't snap while you're reaching for a measurement.

• Job-Specific Features: From magnetic hooks for steelwork to double-sided printing for overhead measuring.
