Product Description
Makita P-72986 Tape Measure 8m / 26ft
The Makita P-72986 Tape Measure 8m / 26ft is a robust metric/imperial tape designed for accurate measuring across construction, carpentry and general trade tasks. As a professional hand tool within the Tape Measures category, it combines a 25mm wide nylon-coated blade with clear dual-scale markings to support quick, reliable readings on site. The magnetic hook end with twin magnets allows the tape to grip securely to metal surfaces, helping users measure longer spans or awkward positions with improved control. An auto-lock function holds the blade in place and enables smooth, controlled rewind, while rubber bumpers around the body help protect the tape from knocks and drops in demanding jobsite environments. MID and CE approval underlines its suitability for compliant measuring work. Supplied as a single 8 metre / 26 foot tape measure, the Makita P-72986 includes an integrated belt clip and wrist strap for convenient carrying and safer handling at height.
