This innovative tape measure is an alternative to conventional tape measures and folding rules. Thanks to the ingenious pre-tensioning of the steel, it automatically unrolls to a length of 2 or 3 meters when the stopper is activated!

The inverted curvature of the tape makes measuring easier and allows measurements to be marked at the same time. The strap housing, the locking mechanism and the lever do not form a complete housing, but are only minimalistically designed to show off the strap itself. The shape of the belt housing supports the unwinding of the belt.
