Frequently Asked Questions
What is the actual pull force of the Soft Tape Measure - 300cm / 120 Inches underwater?
The Soft Tape Measure - 300cm / 120 Inches is rated at its stated rating on a clean, flat, mild steel surface. Underwater, real-world pull force depends on surface condition (rust, paint, marine growth), surface thickness, and contact angle. Expect 50–80% of rated pull on typical subsea steel structures. Always use a 2–3× safety factor for dynamic loads.
How long will the Soft Tape Measure - 300cm / 120 Inches last in saltwater?
With proper care — rinsing with fresh water after each use and drying before storage — the Epoxy-HDPE coating protects the neodymium core for 4+ years of regular commercial diving use. The 316 stainless steel hardware is highly resistant to saltwater corrosion. Avoid dropping the magnet on hard surfaces, as impact damage to the coating is the primary cause of premature corrosion.
Is the Soft Tape Measure - 300cm / 120 Inches strong enough for commercial diving?
Yes. The Soft Tape Measure - 300cm / 120 Inches at its rated pull force is designed for light-duty commercial work including inspections, surveys, and small tool holding. If you regularly work with heavier tools or in strong currents, consider stepping up to a higher-rated model.
What surfaces does the Soft Tape Measure - 300cm / 120 Inches work on?
The Soft Tape Measure - 300cm / 120 Inches works on any ferromagnetic surface — mild steel, carbon steel, cast iron, and structural steel provide the best results. Performance is reduced on rusty, painted, or curved surfaces. It will not work on aluminium, brass, copper, most stainless steels (304/316), concrete, wood, or plastic.
Can I use the Soft Tape Measure - 300cm / 120 Inches for lifting?
No. The Soft Tape Measure - 300cm / 120 Inches is designed for horizontal tool holding and equipment staging — not for vertical lifting or rigging. It is not certified lifting gear. For safety-critical applications, always use rated lifting equipment. The magnet is a positioning and holding tool, not a load-bearing device.
