A clever marking measure for carpenters who transfer inside and outside lengths without reading numbers. Its short metric tape makes it a layout tool, not a replacement for a long tape measure.

Overview
Not a standard tape measure, the Hultafors Talmeter is a marking gauge with a steel tape and sliding extender that measures between two points and then etches that same length onto the work.
Transferring a measurement directly, with no reading or converting, cuts errors when fitting openings and recesses. The scale is metric and the tape is short, so it supplements a regular tape rather than replacing it.
Who it's for
Suits joiners, tilers and installers who copy lengths from one place to another, including inside a window opening. People who need a long tape for rooms or decks should keep a conventional tape for that.
Pros and cons
- Measures inside and outside lengths
- Etches length straight onto the work
- Compass marks circles
- Diameter scale on the back
- Metric scale only
- Short tape length
- Warranty not listed
Performance notes
Accuracy comes from the combined measuring and marking edges, which fix the length between two points so it can be scribed without reading the scale. Because the scale locks in normal position, repeated marks stay consistent across several pieces.
