This Hultafors PRSS Short Tape has a polyester coated stainless-steel blade and a stainless-steel spring, and is made for work in wet environments. The tape is graduated using highly accurate inkjet printing to give you optimal contrast, and precision when measuring. It comes with a smooth blade return action and bump-stop with an anti-wear function protecting the blade and end-hook. The end-hook adjusts itself for internal measuring, while the casing is made from high impact ABS plastics, rubber-coated for a better grip and impact resistance. Type approved according to EU Class I.
