The holder is sized to fit 5m, 8m and 10m tape measures, covering the most common bodies that scaffolders, roofers, carpenters and steel erectors carry. The universal-fit internal shape works with most major tape brands. The reinforced solid internal core keeps the holder open at the right shape, so you can drop a tape in one-handed even when wearing gloves and the holder is fully loaded.
The protective top sleeve sits over the body of the tape measure when stowed. It prevents the tape lifting out when you climb, bend or knock the holder against a scaffold frame. To use the tape you lift the sleeve with your thumb and pull the tape clear in one motion; to stow it, drop the tape back in and the sleeve closes over. It is the practical answer to tapes that fall from open-top holders at height.
Yes. The belt loop is sized for the trade-standard 2 inch belt, so the holder slides straight onto any Hammerex work belt, support belt or scaffolders belt, as well as most other 2 inch trade belts you already own. The premium heavy-duty leather body keeps a clean shape on the belt and the reinforced internal core stops the holder collapsing inwards when no tape is loaded.
Yes. The protective sleeve plus the reinforced solid internal core were designed for scaffolders, steel erectors, roofers and surveyors working at height where a dropped tape is a real hazard. The sleeve resists accidental knocks but still lifts open one-handed. For maximum security on tall scaffolding, attach a short tool lanyard between the tape's strap and a D-ring on your belt as a secondary tether.
Wipe the holder and the sleeve down with a dry cloth at the end of each day to clear plaster dust, grit and brick fines. Every few months work a small amount of neutral leather conditioner into the grain, paying attention to the hinge where the sleeve folds. Avoid soaking the leather; dry it slowly indoors if it gets caught in rain. The holder carries a one-year Hammerex warranty against manufacturing faults.
Every Hammerex product is made in our own Yogyakarta, Indonesia factory and dispatched from there via EMS air freight. We don't drop-ship; the same workshop that stitches the leather packs and posts the order.
Standard dispatch is within 48 hours of order confirmation, posted to EMS. Custom thread colour, custom company branding, and Pro Trade Cover orders add roughly +2 working days to dispatch because they're cut, stitched and finished to spec.
Typical UK delivery is 5-6 working days from EMS pickup. We send tracking on dispatch. Free UK delivery is available on selected products; non-UK destinations are confirmed on WhatsApp at checkout.
No. Hammerex has been supplying the UK trade through wholesale distribution for over 12 years. We now sell direct from the factory so the buyer keeps the margin the distributor used to take.
Yes — most leather belts and tool pouches can be laser-printed with your company name and logo for +£10 per item. Open the "Your company brand name" slider on the product page; our admin confirms artwork with you via WhatsApp and sends a mock-up for approval before production starts.
Beyond the standard 1-year defect warranty, the Pro Trade Cover keeps your belt in service for 3 full years on the parts that wear under daily site use — re-stitching, rivet/stud replacement, buckle service, slider replacement, and leather conditioning. You post the belt to us, we fix it and post it back. You pay postage both ways; we cover all labour and materials. Unlimited claims for 3 years from delivery.
Yes. Black is the house thread colour and is included free. Six other colours (Yellow, Red, Brown, Orange, Green, White) carry a small per-unit fee and add +2 working days to dispatch while we stitch your order to spec. Selectable on the product page in the "Thread colour" slider.
Buy 2 saves 10%, buy 3 saves 15% — applied automatically at the quantity step on most products. No code, no waiting. Bulk and trade pricing beyond that is available — message us via the Partners page for a territory-protected wholesale account.

We use the right material for the job — different leathers across our range, faux leather, and synthetic fabrics where they outperform leather (water resistance, weight, washability). Cutting, stitching, riveting, QC and pack-out all happen under one roof in Yogyakarta. Every unit is inspected on CCTV-recorded QC before pack — no outsourced assembly, no reseller in the chain.
Yes. We run a distribution-partner programme with transparent pricing, protected territories and fair monthly targets — designed around real demand in your market. Retail welcomed from 30 kg mixed product orders. Apply via the Partners page on the site.
We send the EMS tracking number on WhatsApp the day your order is dispatched. EMS provides updates from collection through customs to your door — typical UK transit is 5-6 working days. If anything stalls, message us on WhatsApp and we'll chase EMS for you.
