Description
Overview
The Vinex Measuring Tape Open Reel 100m gives you a single 100 m run of fibreglass tape on an open reel. That length covers the full throw distance of senior javelin, discus and hammer without moving the zero point, and it stretches the length of a straight when you are marking lanes or relay zones.
The open reel matters on a field. Grass, sand and damp do not clog a closed case, and one person can wind the tape back with the handle while the other walks in the end. It is part of the Vinex range of measuring gear stocked for athletics.
Key benefits
- Measures the longest school and club throws in one pull, with 100 m of tape.
- Fibreglass tape resists stretching and kinking across uneven grass.
- Open reel winds in quickly and does not trap dirt or sand.
- Light enough for one official to carry between throwing circles.
Who it's for
Choose the 100 m tape for secondary school athletics days, club meets and any venue where senior throwers compete. It is also the right length for marking out a track, a cross-country start or a sports-day field.
If you mostly measure jumps or junior throws, the Measuring Tape Open Reel 30m or Measuring Tape Open Reel 50m is lighter to carry and quicker to rewind. Pair any of them with the Stopwatch Ultrak 320 for a full track-and-field measuring kit.
Care, safety and set-up
Wipe the tape down and let it dry before winding it fully back on the reel. Store it out of direct sun between seasons. Orders generally dispatch the same or next business day from Mount Maunganui.
Frequently asked questions
Which length should a school buy?
The range comes in 30 m, 50 m and 100 m. Buy 100 m if you host senior throwing events or mark out a track; the shorter tapes suit jumps and junior throws.
Is it sold singly?
Yes, each tape is sold as a single reel. Quantity pricing applies on many lines, and schools or clubs fitting out an athletics kit can request a quote.
Is the tape metal?
No, the tape itself is fibreglass, which is lighter than steel and will not rust after use on wet grass.
