## Overview

The OX Pro Dual Auto Lock Tape Twinpack offers two 5m tapes featuring an intelligent auto dual lock system that prevents snapping back, a dual-sided blade with metric and imperial markings for versatile measuring, and a magnetic end tip for hands-free use on metal surfaces. Built tough with a nylon-coated blade and shock-resistant rubber casing, these tapes deliver durable, precise measurements ideal for professionals seeking reliable tools on the job.

## Description

From the manufacturer AUTO DUAL LOCKING No snapping back - The intelligent Auto Dual lock automatically locks in place ready for measuring and will only retract once you press the release button for a smooth retrieval. MANUAL THUMB LOCK The thumb release allows effortless tape retraction and can be released at any point to stop and hold the blade. This additional thumb lock secures the tape in place for added control when needed. DUAL SIDED TAPE The double-sided blade features metric and imperial markings on top, with metric-only on the underside - ideal for vertical or overhead measurements. This allows clear reading from below without twisting or repositioning the tape. MAGNETIC END TIP The magnetic end hook attaches securely to ferrous metal surfaces like steel frames, window fittings, and ductwork - enabling hands-free, accurate measurements, especially in hard-to-reach or solo working conditions. NYLON COATED BLADE The nylon-coated blade with a 2.8m standout provides added durability and wear resistance, protecting the markings from fading and ensuring long-lasting accuracy. SHOCK RESISTANT DESIGN Tough rubber casing absorbs impacts from drops and knocks, built for site conditions. A rubber-coated casing ensures a firm grip, even in wet or dusty conditions. SLIDING HOOK The sliding hook of the tape allows you to measure both inside and outside accurately. The Hook slides to factor in the thickness of the hook and therefore precisely measure the exact thickness or distance of the material, object or surface. HANDY BELT CLIP The belt hook allow the tape to be attached onto a work belt, tape clip or onto the pocket of your trousers for mobility when not in use.

Review: Two for one & far better than expected - I decided to give it a couple of weeks before leaving a review on these so I could properly use & test them out “real world.” I don’t generally leave reviews unless the product is utter rubbish or far better than expected at the price point. So here we are….. So my old faithful tape measure gave up the ghost after about 25 yrs of DIY use. Well a bit more than just DIY but not a tradesman as such. Blimey these things can cost an arm & a leg so being the penny pinching old duffer I am now I found these. 2 tape measures for £12!! That’s not a bad price for one let alone two! Having to down tools for a couple of days was really frustrating until they arrived as I didn’t have a spare tape measure (muppet!) & couldn’t do much. NOT a criticism of desertcart just a frustrated reality check. 1st impressions are pretty good. The thumb activated lock is a little stiff at first but I’m sure I’ll either loosen it up in time or learn how to use it properly. What I found really interesting is that with the thumb lock off & just sat at rest the tape measure just moves in & out with a slight subtle restriction & interesting “whirring” noise & doesn’t snap back unless you apply thumb pressure. It holds without having to lock it. I know I know this sounds like a weird feature to comment on but it means you’re not always trying to pin the thing down as it desperately tries to head west all the time. It took me a few uses to get the hang of it & wow what a brilliant feature. Not come across it before & really pleasing to use. It does put you in control rather than fighting the wriggling conger eel tape that just wants to whizz back at warp speed into the case while you juggle a spirit level tape measure & pencil all at once. It’s tactile, rubber grips keep it securely in your hand & feels good quality. When playing “walkie talkie” 5yr old mode to see how long you can extend the tape before it collapses & win the contest of the longest “aerial” it wins hands down. Oops yes I’ve already dropped it several times & it comes out totally unbothered ready to use again. I actually can’t find a negative or even a “yeah but….” It just does it & far exceeds my expectations. The very fact you get two of them & they’re bright enough coloured to actually find it when you turn around seven times like a loon trying to work out where you left it. I haven’t actually tried clipping it to my belt or pocket but the spring clip is pretty standard stuff & im sure it would work perfectly. Am I impressed? Yes. Would I recommend it? Yes.
Review: Solid, Reliable Tapes at a Great Price - Very pleased with this OX Pro Dual Auto Lock Tape twin pack. Both tapes feel solid and well made, with a sturdy casing that can handle being knocked about on site. The auto-lock feature works smoothly and makes measuring much easier, especially when working on your own. The blade markings are clear and easy to read, and the standout is decent for everyday jobs. Retraction is strong without being aggressive, and they feel reliable in the hand. For a twin pack, the price is very good and represents excellent value for money. You’re getting two quality tapes for what you’d often pay for one. Overall, a great buy and I’d happily recommend them.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good tape, Amazon delivery is not that good
*by R***S on 17 November 2025*

The product it’s self is good. We use it for scaffolding however once the muck and grit gets on the tape it stops retracting which is the same as any other tape I have used. Now if there was a tape with a self cleaning method that would be amazing. The tape is good the speed of delivery was good the driver delivering it was rubbish he didn’t even leave his van and threw the package at my door it sounded like someone kicking my door in. At least the parcel was not glass I guess. The product itself self is 5star however Amazon delivered is about 2star as they get it to you in a fashion
