Description The DeWalt DHT036928 TOUGHSERIES™ Tape Measure 8m is a heavy-duty, metric-only measuring tool designed for demanding professional use. With an extended reach of up to 16ft (approx. 4.9m) without assistance, it allows you to measure longer spans single-handedly, reducing the need for a second person. An ultra-tough housing, magnetic hook and double-sided blade print make this tape a reliable, convenient choice for construction, fit-out, installation and general site work. Reach and performance Engineered for real jobsite conditions, the DeWalt DHT036928 offers impressive stand-out performance, extending up to 16ft without support. This extended reach makes it easier to measure across rooms, ceilings, openings and framing members on your own. The magnetic end hook attaches securely to metal surfaces such as studs, ducting, steelwork and fixings, providing a stable starting point for accurate measuring and helping to minimise slip or drop. Blade design and readability The 8m tape features a wide 32mm blade, providing excellent visibility and stability over longer distances. The double-sided blade print allows measurements to be read from either side, particularly useful for overhead and awkward measurements where a standard tape can be difficult to read. Clear metric graduations support precise measuring, and the blade is designed to withstand the flexing and impact associated with daily trade use. Durability and jobsite toughness Part of the TOUGHSERIES™ range, this tape measure is built around an ultra-tough housing that offers enhanced protection against drops, knocks and general site abuse. The rugged case helps shield the internal mechanism and blade from impact and contamination, extending service life in demanding environments. This durability makes it well suited to construction sites, workshops, fit-out projects and maintenance work where tools are expected to perform reliably day after day. Accuracy and standards The DeWalt DHT036928 TOUGHSERIES™ Tape Measure 8m is rated to EC Class II accuracy, providing a reliable level of precision for professional measuring tasks. This standard ensures measurement tolerances that are suitable for most building, installation and general construction applications, helping you maintain consistency and confidence in your measurements. Applications and use cases This TOUGHSERIES™ tape measure is ideal for framing, partitioning, setting out fixings, measuring runs for services, checking clearances, laying flooring, installing cabinetry and general construction layout. The extended stand-out, magnetic hook and double-sided blade make it especially effective for overhead, solo and long-span measurements. Its metric-only format suits sites and projects working exclusively in metric dimensions.
