Make long-distance measuring easier with a practical open measuring tape built for everyday work across indoor and outdoor environments. Its open reel structure provides convenient access to the tape, while the manual winding mechanism allows you to collect the blade after use and prepare it for the next measurement. Electroplated metal housing or ABS plastic housing, the available housing and tape combinations give buyers flexibility when selecting a measuring tool for different job requirements.
Two Housing Material Options to Meet Different Needs
- Electroplated Metal Housing. With durable metal construction, the electroplated metal housing provides a solid structure. It gives the housing a smooth, metallic appearance. This material suitable for construction, landscaping, and other outdoor applications.
- ABS Plastic Housing. Its lightweight design is useful for users who need to transport their measuring tape frequently or use it across multiple locations, practical for everyday use.
Open Reel Measuring Tape Equipped With Rewind Crank Handle
- Effort-Saving Operation. The crank handle makes it easier to wind the measuring tape back onto the reel, reducing the effort required after measuring long distances.
- Improved Handling and Control. The hand-operated crank provides better control during tape retraction, helping users wind the blade back in a more organized manner and reducing tangling during storage.
- Reduced Hand Fatigue. The crank mechanism reduces the need for repeated direct pulling during retraction, making the open reel measuring tape more comfortable to use during frequent measuring tasks.
Applications
SISCO open reel measuring tape is widely used in construction, land surveying, road engineering, landscaping, agriculture, and outdoor measurement projects. Its long measuring range makes it suitable for measuring distances between buildings, checking road widths, marking land boundaries, measuring garden layouts, and planning construction sites.

Q1: What is open reel measuring tape?
A1: An open reel measuring tape is a measuring tool designed for measuring long distances in outdoor and industrial environments. It features a measuring blade wound around an exposed reel, usually with a handle for easy carrying and winding.
Q2: What is the difference between the electroplated metal housing and the ABS plastic housing?
A2: The main difference between an electroplated metal housing and an ABS plastic housing for an open reel measuring tape is durability, weight, and appearance. The electroplated metal housing offers a sturdy structure and a metallic finish, making it suitable for users who prefer a solid feel and a professional appearance. The ABS plastic housing is lightweight and easy to carry, making it convenient for frequent outdoor measurements and everyday use. Both options are designed to protect the internal reel mechanism. The best choice depends on your working environment, portability requirements, personal preferences, and budget.
Q3: Does the tape retract smoothly and automatically?
A3: The open reel measuring tape does not retract automatically with a spring mechanism. Instead, it features a hand-operated crank for winding the tape back into the reel after use. Simply turn the handle steadily to retract the measuring tape smoothly and keep it neatly stored. This manual retraction design gives users better control over the winding speed and helps prevent the tape from tangling or snapping back unexpectedly. For best results, maintain light tension on the tape while turning the crank, and avoid winding it too quickly.
Tips: How Should I Clean and Maintain the Open Reel Measuring Tape?
To clean and maintain an open reel measuring tape, wipe the tape blade with a soft, dry cloth after each use to remove dirt, dust, and moisture. If the tape becomes dirty, use a slightly damp cloth and dry it thoroughly before rewinding. Avoid exposing the tape to rain, corrosive chemicals, or excessive humidity to prevent damage. Check the blade regularly for bends, cracks, or wear. Keep the reel handle and winding mechanism clean and free from debris. Store the measuring tape in a dry place, and rewind it carefully to ensure smooth operation and extend its service life.
