Unrivalled Precision: The Marksman Class 1 Professional Tape Measure

The Marksman 5m / 16ft Measuring Tape is a specialist hardware tool designed for tasks where precision is paramount. At ECO Heat Shop, we emphasize that accuracy is a pillar of sustainability. By using a Class 1 accuracy tape, you eliminate the cumulative errors found in lower-grade tools, reducing material waste and ensuring that your installations—from radiator pipework to kitchen units—fit perfectly the first time.

This tape features a premium yellow-coated steel blade for maximum visibility in low-light conditions, such as under-sink cupboards or dimly lit workshops. The 5-metre length provides the ideal balance between reach and portability, fitting comfortably in a pocket or on a belt clip while providing enough length for most domestic and commercial internal measurements.

Key Features & Professional Benefits

• EEC Class 1 Certification: Manufactured to a tolerance of only +/- 1.1mm over 5 metres, providing significantly higher accuracy than standard Class 2 tapes found in high-street stores.
• Self-Adjusting End Hook: Features a “true-zero” moving hook that compensates for the hook’s own thickness, ensuring 100% accuracy on both internal and external measurements.
• Powerful Thumb Lock & Pause Button: The ergonomic sliding lock holds the blade firmly at any length, while the underside pause button allows for quick, temporary control during retraction.
• Superior Blade Stand-Out: The 19mm wide curved blade is designed for increased horizontal stand-out, allowing for easier solo measurements across rooms.
• Integrated Belt Clip & Wrist Strap: Keeps your primary measuring hardware secure and accessible at all times on the job site.

Why Source Precision Tools from ECO Heat Shop?

As a specialist UK-registered hardware provider (Company No: 16383897), we curate tools that offer trade-level performance. A Class 1 tape measure is a small investment that pays for itself in avoided mistakes and professional results. We offer fast UK delivery and products that help you manage your home and projects with total precision.

Expert Tip: To maintain Class 1 accuracy, never allow the tape to “snap” back into the case at full speed; always control the retraction with your thumb or the pause button. This protects the end-hook rivets from stretching, ensuring your “true-zero” calibration remains perfect for years of service.
