Tapes

Starrett Tapes are offered in a wide range of styles and sizes, with graduations in both metric and imperial to meet virtually every requirement for accurate tape measurement.  All Starrett precision measuring tapes are characterised by their accuracy, ease of handling and most importantly, by the distinct lines and numbering styles which makes reading easy.  

Short Line Tapes feature rugged industrial quality, with thicker, tougher, heavy duty blades constructed from tempered high carbon steel.  On Tru-Lok and ProSite Tapes an exclusive Tough Tip blade protector, triple riveted and stainless steel plated, reinforces the tape blade end and dramatically reduces risk of breakage.
