Overview
Pulling the blade out leaves it locked exactly where it stops on this Tajima tape, and a button releases it to retract. A coated white blade with fine graduations and a riveted steel hook handles marking and measuring on the job.
Auto lock removes the step of thumbing a lock on every pull, and the non-reflective blade reads clearly under bright lights. Length is limited, so longer layouts need a second tape.
Who it's for
Finish carpenters, cabinet installers and DIYers who want hands-free locking and fine graduations get a precise short tape. Framers measuring long walls should pair it with a longer tape.
Pros and cons
- Blade locks automatically when pulled
- Fine graduations for precise marking
- Glare-free white blade
- Riveted steel hook with guard
- Short length for long layouts
- Retraction requires pressing a button
- Standout not listed
Performance notes
The blade stops and locks wherever it is pulled, then retracts only when the retract button is pressed, which prevents snapback. Fine graduations and large printed numbers on a matte blade aid accurate marking. The riveted hook and guard give consistent inside and outside readings.
