Bahco MTS Stainless Steel Auto Tape Measure – Reversible Magnetic Tip 5M (Width 25mm)

The Bahco MTS is a magnetic tape measure built for tradespeople who measure all day and need a tape that keeps up. The reversible magnetic tip means you can pull to a metal surface, hold a mark, or flip the tip to suit your measuring style — a small detail that genuinely saves time on the job. Whether you’re framing, fitting, or fixing, having that tip snap to a steel stud or joist edge makes single-handed measuring a realistic option rather than a juggling act.

The blade is high-grade stainless steel with de-burred edges, which matters more than it sounds. Standard blades can crack painted surfaces on contact or leave sharp burrs that catch your fingers after a few weeks of use. The Bahco MTS avoids both problems. The blade is also coated with a DURA NY-coat finish, which keeps reflections down and protects the printed graduations from fading. Measurements are printed on both sides of the blade, so you’re reading the right way up regardless of which direction you’re pulling.

Why the Bahco MTS Magnetic Tape Measure Holds Up on Site

The casing is rubberised for grip and impact absorption — because tapes get dropped, and a tape measure that shatters on its third fall isn’t saving anyone money. The automatic blade lock means the blade stays where you set it without having to fumble with a manual slider, and the belt clip and button grip are built in for carrying convenience.

One more thing worth noting: the stainless steel blade can be fully immersed in water without damage. For groundworkers, landscapers, or anyone measuring in wet conditions, that matters. Most tapes don’t survive a puddle. This one does.
