Stabila LBM 2000 Steel closed case tape

The Stabila LBM 2000 Closed Steel Tape is a rugged metric-only tape measure for tradespeople who need durable, accurate measurements on site. Its shatterproof PC/ABS housing is paired with a soft-grip cover to withstand knocks, while the blade is protected by a STABILA NYLON-WRAP coating to resist corrosion and abrasion. The tape also features a STABILA SPIKES coating to improve slip resistance on smooth surfaces and during longer measurements, helping you stay precise when working solo or with a crew. It offers versatile fastening options via the fold-out SPIKES hook with integrated nail eyelet and a large, unbreakable plastic ring with nail notch for a secure hold when pulling the strap. The ring’s position provides practical reference points: 2 cm between the zero point and the nail notch, and 5 cm between the zero point and the start of the ring, with the zero point at the beginning of the hinge fitting. Specifications at a glance: metric measurements only; blade width 13 mm; accuracy EC Class II. Who this is for: carpenters, joiners, builders and site crews needing a robust, reliable measuring tool for long runs and measurements on smooth or challenging surfaces. Use it for framing, decking, roofing layouts, and alignment checks where a durable, precise tape makes a real difference. On-site maintenance is straightforward—wipe clean and avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight to preserve coating integrity.
