Description
The DeWalt DHT036917 TOUGHSERIES™ Tape Measure 5m is built for tradespeople and serious DIY users who need reliable measuring with fewer re-takes. With extended standout up to 16ft (approx. 4.9m) without assistance, a toughened housing for site durability, and a magnetic end hook for fast one-person measuring, it is designed to keep work moving efficiently.
Performance and accuracy
Designed for confident measurements on the job, the blade delivers extended reach for framing, sheet materials and setting-out where a second pair of hands is not always available. EC Class II accuracy supports consistent results for everyday fitting and layout tasks, helping you measure, mark and cut with greater assurance.
Durable design and day-to-day usability
The ultra-tough housing is made to handle knocks, drops and rough handling typical of site work. A magnetic end hook attaches securely to steel studs, RSJ flanges, trunking and other metalwork, improving control and reducing slip. Double-sided blade print makes overhead and awkward-angle measuring simpler, so you can read the scale without twisting your wrist or repositioning the tape.
Typical applications
Carpentry and joinery setting-out
Stud walls, framing and first-fix work
Measuring sheet materials and worktops
Kitchen, bathroom and interior fit-outs
General site measuring, marking and installation tasks
