Meet the Magnet Source 39.375 in. L x 1 in. W Magnetic Measuring Tape — a purpose-built tool that brings hands-free precision to every project. With a robust fixed length of 39.375 inches and a 1-inch-wide profile, this tri-color Blue/Red/White tape delivers clear, fast readings on metal surfaces where you need your hands free for the job.
Why this tape stands out
-
Magnetic backing for hands-free measuring: The ferrous-friendly design securely attaches to metal surfaces, letting you measure without juggling the tape or holding it in place.
-
Durable construction: The combination of ferrite powder within a rubber polymer resin creates a resilient, flexible tape that can withstand workshop grit, oily shop floors, and rough-handed tasks.
-
High-contrast visibility: Bold Blue/Red/White markings improve readability at a glance, even in busy work environments or dim garages.
-
Fixed-length reliability: At 39.375 inches, it’s perfectly suited for common shop measurements, layout tasks, and quick checks without the complexity of retractable systems.
-
Retail-ready, protected: Packaged in a clamshell for secure display and easy access in stores or tool drawers.
Ideal for whom and where
- Woodworkers, metal fabricators, and automotive enthusiasts who want stable, hands-free measurements while keeping both hands on the task.
- Garage setups, fabrication shops, and maker spaces where quick, repeatable measurements save time and reduce mistakes.
- DIYers tackling shelving, cabinetry, or panel layouts who need a reliable, easy-to-read tape that won’t slip mid-task.
How it solves common problems
- Eliminates the need to hold a tape in place on metal surfaces, reducing measurement errors caused by shifting or slippage.
- Provides a sturdy, durable tool that withstands routine shop wear, thanks to ferrite powder-infused rubber polymer resin construction.
- Delivers fast, legible readings with minimal interpretation, helping you move from measurement to mark-up or cut more quickly.
Practical tips for best results
- Clean the metal surface before sticking the tape to ensure maximum magnetic adhesion and an accurate read.
- Position the tape so the measurement line is clearly visible against the workpiece, then read at eye level to avoid parallax errors.
- Store with the magnet in contact with a ferrous surface or keep in the original clamshell to preserve print readability and magnet strength.
