Truper Gripper 16ft Tape Measure

Truper Gripper 16′ Tape Measure

Truper’s Gripper 16-foot tape measure pairs an impact-resistant ABS housing with a TPR rubber overcoat, a dual-sided yellow blade printed in both metric and imperial, and a reinforced first meter of tape — built for jobsite drops and daily measuring rather than occasional household use.

Features

• Impact-Resistant ABS Housing with TPR Cover — The rubber overcoat cushions the case against drops on concrete or wood floors, so it holds up to daily jobsite handling instead of cracking on the first fall.
• Triple-Layer Protection on the First Meter — The first meter of tape sees the most wear from repeated extending and retracting, so it’s reinforced with extra coating to delay fraying right where it matters most.
• Double-Sided, Lacquer-Coated Blade — Printed on both faces and sealed with lacquer, so the numbers stay legible and the print resists rubbing off long after a standard single-sided tape would fade.
• Dual Metric/Imperial Scale — Meters and centimeters run one direction, feet and inches the other, so there’s no need to carry two tapes or convert in your head between metric and imperial jobs.
• Double-Sided Hook — The hook is designed to give an accurate reading whether you’re measuring from an outside edge or hooking into an inside corner, so you don’t have to mentally add or subtract the hook’s thickness.
• 2-Meter Max Standout — The blade holds rigid up to 2 meters when extended horizontally without buckling, useful for one-person measuring across a span without a helper to support the tape.
• Lever-Action Belt Clip — Snaps onto a belt or tool bag and holds firmly until released, keeping the tape on hand instead of in a pocket.
• Wrist Strap Included — Loops around the wrist or hand to back up your grip, reducing drops when working at height or with hands otherwise full.
