Pocket Rod Metric Tape

Upgrade your field kit with the Pocket Rod Metric Tape, the ultimate hybrid between a standard tape measure and a rigid surveying rod. At first glance, this tool looks like a traditional retracting tape measure. However, its unique engineering sets it apart for professional forensic and construction use. When you pull the metal tape to its full 2-metre length, it transforms into a semi-rigid, upright scale that maintains its shape without collapsing.

The Pocket Rod excels in vertical documentation. Unlike standard tapes that go limp, this blade stands straight. You can set the housing directly on the floor or ground to take hands-free vertical measurements. The numbering begins at the very base, allowing you to read from ground level up with perfect accuracy. This feature makes it an essential tool for documenting the height of evidence, impact marks on walls, or architectural features during a site survey.

Visibility and clarity define this metric scale. The blade features a dual-colour system to help you distinguish between different data points in photographs. One side displays bold black numbers, while the other side features high-contrast red numbers. This two-sided design ensures that your measurements remain legible under various lighting conditions or through a camera lens. The non-glare finish further prevents “white-out” from camera flashes, ensuring your forensic photos are court-ready every time.

Durability meets portability in this compact design. The rugged housing fits comfortably in a pocket, belt pouch, or tactical bag. It offers the professional utility of a full-sized levelling rod without the bulk. Whether you are a forensic investigator, a building inspector, or a surveyor, the Pocket Rod Metric Tape provides a reliable, “stay-upright” solution for every job. Invest in this versatile tool to bring precision and ease to your vertical measuring tasks.
