Brand Makita

Measure Once. Cut Once.

The Makita P-72986 is a professional-grade 8-metre tape measure built for daily site abuse. A 25mm nylon-coated blade, twin magnetic hook, and auto-lock mechanism — everything you need, nothing you don't.

The magnetic end sticks to steel studs, brackets, and beams, so you can take long measurements single-handed. MID and CE approved for trade accuracy.

Why Tradespeople Choose This Tape

  • Twin magnetic hook — grips steel for easy one-person measurements
  • 25mm nylon-coated blade — wide enough to stay rigid at full extension, durable enough to last
  • Auto-lock function — blade holds in place without you gripping the button
  • Metric & imperial scales — clear markings on both sides
  • Rubber bumpers — absorbs drops and knocks
  • Belt clip & wrist strap — keeps it on you, not lost in the van

Ideal For

  • Carpentry and joinery
  • First and second fix work
  • General site measuring
  • Steel stud and metal framing work
  • Kitchen and bathroom fitting
