The DeWALT 9 Ft Magnetic Pocket Tape Measure is a compact, job-site-ready measuring tool built for professionals who need reliable, quick measurements in a low-profile package. Featuring a 9 ft. polymer blade with a 1 in. width, this pocket tape is sized perfectly for measuring standard drywall sheets and plywood panels in one clean pull. A built-in rear magnet lets you mount the tape directly to a metal toolbox, keeping it accessible and off the floor when not in use. With industrial-grade construction and an ergonomic rubber housing, this DeWALT pocket tape is designed to hold up through high-volume framing and sheathing work without sacrificing comfort or control.

Why This Product

• Sized for real job-site tasks - the 9 ft. blade matches the exact dimensions of standard drywall and plywood sheets, making it a purpose-built measuring tool rather than a generic option
• Stays where you put it - the rear magnet means the tape sticks to your metal toolbox instead of rolling around, saving time when you need to grab it fast on a busy site

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the rear magnet used for on this tape measure?

The rear magnet is designed to mount the tape measure directly to a metal toolbox for convenient, hands-free storage. This keeps the tool within easy reach and off your work surface when you are not actively measuring.

Is this tape measure suitable for measuring full sheets of drywall and plywood?

Yes - the 9 ft. blade length is specifically suited for measuring standard drywall and plywood sheets, making it a practical choice for framing and sheathing applications where those materials are used routinely.

Does the blade lock in place during use?

Yes, this tape measure includes a locking mechanism that holds the blade at your measured length. This allows you to transfer or mark a measurement without the blade retracting and losing your reading.

What measuring system does this tape use?

This tape measure uses the SAE (standard imperial) measuring format, which reads in feet and inches - the standard for most framing, construction, and general carpentry work in the United States.
