Product Description
This small tape measure covers 1 metre (3 feet) on a stainless steel blade, marked in both metric and imperial units. It's a genuinely handy extra for CCTV work, not a main tool.
Where it actually helps
When you're planning a camera install, a lot of the checks are short-distance ones: how far a bracket sits from a corner, whether a housing clears a window sill, the gap between a PIR sensor and a doorframe. A full-size tape is overkill for those — this fits in a pocket or clips on with its keychain, so it's on hand when you need a quick number rather than a job.
What to expect from a 1m blade
Because the blade is 1 metre / 3 feet long, it's built for close-range checks, not cable runs or wall-to-wall distances — for anything longer you'll still want a standard tape. Think spacing a row of cameras evenly, checking a mounting plate footprint, or confirming a monitor fits a shelf.
