Komelon Gripper Hi-Viz Tape Measure for Trade and DIY Use
A solid 8m tape measure built for site conditions:
The Komelon Gripper XMS26TAPE8 gives you 8 metres (26 feet) of measurement range on a 25mm-wide Dura NY Nylon-coated blade. The blade carries both metric and imperial graduations, so you can switch between scales without reaching for a second tool. EC Class II accuracy means the readings meet the European measurement standard required for professional trade work.
Grippy case, True Zero hook, and top lock:
The Hi-Viz yellow-and-black ABS case is wrapped in a rubber outer layer that absorbs knocks and helps the tape stay put when set down on a surface. The True Zero end-hook self-adjusts for accurate internal and external measurements, and the top blade lock holds the blade open while you mark up. An integrated belt clip keeps the tape within reach on site without taking up pocket space.
Part of the GKO trade range:
The XMS26TAPE8 is an exclusive variant released under Komelon's annual GKO (Get Kitted Out) trade campaign. The Hi-Viz colourway makes it easy to spot on a cluttered workbench or in a tool bag. Shop our full Measuring Tapes range at Heavins.ie, supplying trade and DIY customers across Ireland.
