digital readout tape measure

The Kingmach digital readout tape measure starts with a heavy-duty steel tape in a shock-resistant ABS housing. The blade is nylon-coated for scratch resistance and stands out 2 to 3 meters without breaking—handy when you need to bridge a gap or reach overhead. Out on a slope or in a dusty adit, you flip open the protective cover, pull out the tape, and the LCD brightens into clear 6 mm digits. No more guessing whether a mark falls on 12.3 or 12.4 mm. A hold function freezes the reading even after you retract the tape, so you can record numbers at your own pace. Accuracy stays within ±0.5 mm over the rated range, consistent with Class I tapes under ISO standards, and the internal encoder resists moisture and grit thanks to an IP54 seal. Engineers who track tunnel convergence often pair this tool with a Kingmach data logger or third-party Bluetooth receiver; the tape’s wireless output sends each measurement directly into a spreadsheet, cutting out manual entry. For those mapping rock joints or monitoring structural cracks, a button lets you toggle absolute and incremental modes. If your project calls for a longer blade or a custom starting hook, our factory can build to spec. The unit runs on two AAA batteries tucked inside the grip—no proprietary cells to hunt for in remote locations. Kingmach customers in over 40 countries already use our digital readout tape measures alongside vibrating wire piezometers and borehole extensometers, so the same local support and calibration services apply. Should anything act up, our regional distributors can ship replacement parts within days, not weeks. In short, it’s a measurement tool that merges the simplicity of a tape with the repeatability of digital sensors—without demanding a cleanroom to function.
