Makita 2m & 6ft Tape Measures
Makita 2M 6Ft Tape Measures are for quick, accurate checks when you do not need a big tape dragging about.
On snagging, kitchen fits, stud set-out, and bench work, a 2m tape lives in your pocket and gets used all day. Makita's housings take knocks, the blades read clearly, and the lock does its job when you are marking up solo. Grab the one that feels right in hand and keep it on you.
What Jobs Are Makita 2M 6Ft Tape Measures Used For?
- Marking out timber and sheet on the bench for quick cuts where a longer tape just gets in the way and kinks.
- Checking stud centres, noggins, and opening sizes during first fix when you are bouncing between rooms and need fast reads.
- Measuring trims, architrave returns, and small packers on second fix and snagging without hauling a 5m tape around.
- Confirming clearances in cupboards, service voids, and tight corners where a short blade is easier to control and less likely to buckle.
Choosing the Right Makita 2M 6Ft Tape Measure
Keep it simple: pick the one you will actually carry every day, because the best tape is the one that is on you when you need a measurement.
1. Blade readability and lock feel
If you are measuring in poor light or moving fast, go for the clearest markings and a lock you can flick on and off one-handed; if the lock slips in the shop, it will be worse on site.
2. Clip and size for pocket carry
If you wear tool pouches or work off ladders, a solid belt clip and a compact body stops it falling off or digging in; if it is bulky, it will end up left in the van.
3. Casing toughness for real site knocks
If you are on refurbs and snagging where tapes get dropped and kicked about, prioritise a robust housing and a blade that rewinds cleanly without snagging, because that is what fails first.
Makita 2M 6Ft Tape Measures FAQs
What are the features of Makita 2M 6Ft Tape Measures?
They are compact pocket tapes built for quick site measuring, with a clear marked blade, a positive lock, and a tough casing designed to take everyday knocks in the tool bag. Exact details vary by model, so check the listing for blade width, clip style, and casing shape if you are fussy about feel.
Are Makita 2M 6Ft Tape Measures available with batteries and charger?
No, these are manual hand tools, so there are no batteries or chargers involved. If a listing mentions a "kit", it will be packaging or multi-buy, not a power tool bundle.
Is there a warranty on Makita 2M 6Ft Tape Measures?
Yes, Makita hand tools are covered by a manufacturer warranty, but terms can differ depending on the exact product. Check the product page and keep your proof of purchase, and if anything turns up faulty, get it logged straight away rather than trying to "make it do" on site.
Are Makita 2M 6Ft Tape Measures suitable for professional tradesmen?
Yes, a 2m tape is a proper trade staple for quick checks, set-outs, and snagging, especially for chippies, fitters, and maintenance. Just be realistic: it is for short measurements and tight spaces, not long runs where you would normally grab a 5m or 8m.

Yes, we offer next day delivery on in stock Makita 2M 6Ft Tape Measures. Order by 5pm for delivery on the next working day, so you can get it straight on the tools without waiting around.
Who Uses Makita 2M 6Ft Tape Measures?

Tape Measure Add Ons That Save Time on Site
A couple of small extras make a pocket tape more useful and stop you losing it halfway through the job.
1. Tool lanyard or tether
If you are up steps, on a lift, or working over finished floors, tethering your tape stops it dropping, cracking the casing, or leaving a dent in someone's new tiles.
2. Carpenter's pencil and marker pack
A tape is only half the job; keep decent pencils or markers with it so you can measure and mark once, clearly, without hunting around and losing your cut line.
3. Pocket notebook or snag pad
For snagging and maintenance, a small pad means you can write the measurement down straight away instead of trusting your memory and cutting it twice.
