VARIO Pocket Tape Measure (3 m, 13 mm) by BMI — EG Class I precision

A compact VARIO pocket tape measure engineered for workshop and trade use, offering mm/mm graduation and EG Class I accuracy for repeatable, verifiable measurements.

• Ergonomic impact-resistant housing
• Smooth tape travel mechanism
• Automatic rewind with stop button
• EG Class I accuracy ±0.5 mm/m

Precision that reduces rework and downtime

The EG Class I rating and the ±0.5 mm/m tolerance deliver measurable confidence on small and medium-length tasks. With a 3 m tape length and 13 mm blade width the instrument balances reach with blade stability: the narrow, rigid blade supports straighter extension for single-handed measuring while the mm/mm graduation enables direct metric readings without conversion. This combination reduces repeated checks and trimming during assembly or installation, supporting faster cycle times and fewer corrective passes on the production floor.

Robust construction for daily industrial use

A housing made from glass-fibre reinforced polyamide provides an impact-resistant shell that withstands drops and knocks commonly encountered in busy workshops. The ergonomically contoured case improves grip during extended use and protects the mechanism from dust ingress. The compact casing design ensures the unit fits in a pocket or tool belt while maintaining internal space for a tension-balanced rewind system, giving long service life and consistent performance under moderate industrial stress.

Smooth operation and secure measurement control

A specialised mechanism ensures a smooth tape travel, reducing jerks that can distort readings or cause blade damage. The integrated locking device holds the blade securely at the desired length and the automatic rewind is paired with a dedicated stop button to prevent uncontrolled retraction, protecting both operator and instrument. These features combine to provide quicker measuring cycles and safer handling when working at height or in confined spaces.

Practical application and traceable standards

Marked in mm/mm and suitable for trade, workshop and inspection tasks, the tape measure performs well for carpentry, fitting, metalworking and general maintenance. The clear graduations and EG accuracy class make the tool suitable for quality checks where traceable tolerances are required. For additional technical specifications or compatibility questions regarding specific materials or measuring standards, Metav’s specialists are available to advise; the company positions itself as a precision partner that brings professional measurement within reach for every workshop.
