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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this tape measure accurate enough for professional trade work?

Yes. This measuring tape carries EC Class II accuracy, the European measurement standard required for professional trade use. Both metric and imperial graduations are printed on the same nylon-coated blade, so there is no need to switch tools when working across different scales. The XMS26TAPE8 is part of Komelon's GKO trade range, built to the same accuracy standard used across the industry.

Does the end-hook adjust automatically for internal and external measurements?

Yes. The Komelon True Zero end-hook self-adjusts to compensate whether the hook is pushed in for an internal measurement or pulled taut for an external one. This keeps readings accurate without any manual correction. A top blade lock holds the blade open while marking up, so both hands are free to use a pencil or marking tool.

Will the case protect this tape measure if it is knocked or dropped on site?

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 rubber grip also reduces the chance of it sliding off a workbench or ledge. An integrated belt clip keeps it close at hand without taking up pocket space, which also reduces the risk of drops.

Yes, Heavins.ie is fully committed to environmental responsibility and participates in Ireland’s WEEE (Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment) recycling scheme. That means when you buy a new electrical item from us, we offer free recycling of your old appliance or electrical item.
