Komelon Gripper Hi Viz Measuring Tape for Accurate Metric and Imperial Readings

A dependable measuring tape built for everyday site use:

The Komelon Gripper™ is a 5m/16ft measuring tape with a 19mm wide, nylon-coated Dura NY blade that carries both metric and imperial graduations. The matt finish reduces reflections in bright conditions, making the markings straightforward to read whether you are working indoors or out.

A stronger end hook and longer-lasting blade:

The True Zero end hook uses a 3-rivet fixing that Komelon rates as 40% stronger than a standard 2-rivet hook, with extra heat treatment to prevent breakage during normal use. The hook self-adjusts to give accurate readings for both internal and external measurements, and rounded blade edges reduce the risk of finger cuts while also protecting the blade itself from damage.

Comfortable to hold and easy to carry:

The ABS case has a rubber outer that adds protection and provides a secure grip even in damp or wet conditions. A blade lock holds the tape at the required length, and a belt clip keeps the measure to hand on site without needing a toolbag to be opened each time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this tape measure more durable than a standard budget option?

Three features set it apart from a basic tape. The end hook uses a three-rivet fixing that Komelon rates as 40% stronger than a standard two-rivet hook, and it is heat-treated to resist breakage in normal use. The blade carries Komelon's Dura NY nylon coating, which reduces wear and extends blade life. Rounded blade edges protect the blade itself from damage during everyday use. The XMS26TAPE5 also has an ABS body with a rubber outer for added protection.

Can this tape measure take accurate internal and external measurements?

Yes. The True Zero end hook is self-adjusting, which means it compensates automatically depending on whether the measurement is taken from the inside of a recess or hooked over an external edge. This gives reliable readings in both situations without any manual correction. The tape meets Class II accuracy certification, covering the standard required for general trade and construction use.

Is this measuring tape easy to read in bright sunlight or glare?

The blade has a matt finish that resists glare, making the graduations noticeably easier to read when working outdoors or under strong artificial light. It carries both metric and imperial markings on a single 19mm wide blade, so there is no need to swap between tapes for different trades or tasks. The high-visibility blade colour further aids quick, accurate readings on site.

Are the blade edges safe to handle?

The blade edges are rounded to reduce the risk of finger cuts during normal handling and to protect the blade from damage when it retracts. The ABS case has a soft rubber outer that stays secure in damp or wet conditions, so the tape is less likely to slip during use on site. A blade lock holds the tape at the required length while marking out.
