For smaller spaces, a short tape measure is the right measuring tool. Most of these are pocket-friendly and portable devices that can be used for quick, precise measurements.
For example, short tape measures are useful for professionals working on apartments or well-demarcated houses.
Some of the best short tape measures and their qualities are outlined below.
Keson’s chrome coated series is one of the most popular options for professionals and construction workers. This short tape measure comes in a variety of lengths and units.
The textured rubber grip ensures a firm hold, even when you’re wearing gloves. The measurement tape easily slides out in a swift motion, ensuring that you obtain precise measurements.
Other features, like the nylon coated blade, secure locking system, sturdy belt clip and bumper cushion, make this an affordable option for builders and other professionals.
This series offers toggle locking features and a brightly colored case. Additionally, the fractional decimal tape breaks inches into decimals and fractions, allowing for a quick and easy measurement read.
The blades are coated with nylon for longevity and abrasion resistance. Other features include easy reading graduations, bumper cushion and three rivet hook for maximum durability and flexibility.
The Economy Series by Keson comes in a co-molded plastic that contains a lacquer-coated blade with easy to read markings. A break situated at the side slows and stops the blade’s return when on.
As the name indicates, this is an excellent measuring tape at an economical price. Other features of this series include a bumper cushion, secure locking system, heavy-duty end hook and belt clip for added portability and durability.
The Ultra Bright Blade series is easy to read even in low lighting, making it a better handy measurement tool than ordinary black and white blades. Also, these tapes are particularly useful in small dark corners, such as cabinets and cupboards.
Additionally, the blade has numbers in a larger font for enhanced readability and a vertical reading measurement in feet and inches. This tape measure is contained in a solid-ABS housing encased in a rubber panel.
