Build & Design
The tape measure has a black and yellow rubberized body, which helps improve grip and protects the casing from light knocks or drops. The compact shape makes it easy to carry in a toolbox, pocket, or work bag.
The 19 mm wide metal tape is a good size for general use, offering enough stiffness for short extensions while still remaining lightweight and easy to rewind.
Performance
For basic measuring tasks, the Okko 587E performs well. The 1 mm scale provides accurate enough readings for most home improvement, furniture, workshop, and DIY jobs.
The Class 2 accuracy rating is standard for many general-purpose tape measures, making it suitable for everyday use rather than high-precision professional measurement.
Ease of Use
The tape includes a latch/locking system, allowing the user to hold the tape at the desired length. The three-clamp design adds convenience, while the rubber casing makes it comfortable to hold.
It is suitable for measuring:
- Rooms and furniture
- Boards, pipes, and materials
- DIY project layouts
- Workshop and household tasks
Value for Money
At the €2.52 SMART NET price, this tape measure offers excellent value. It is inexpensive but still includes useful features such as a rubberized case, metal tape, 5 m length, and a locking function.
