Klein Tools has once again partnered with City Electrical Factors (CEF) to launch a new limited-edition product in support of Macmillan Cancer Support. This time, the collaboration brings a high-performance, co-branded 5m tape measure to market, designed for professionals and built with purpose. For every tape measure sold, £5 will be donated to Macmillan Cancer Support*, with the goal of raising £25,000 to help fund vital services for people living with cancer across the UK.
Precision Meets Purpose
The Klein Tools x Macmillan tape measure (CEF code: 2839-3894 / Klein code: 9350MAC) is more than just a measuring tool; it’s a symbol of support and solidarity. Engineered for durability and accuracy, this tape measure is packed with features that make it a must-have for electricians, and tradespeople alike:
- Magnetic Double-Hook: Securely attaches to conduit, steel studs, and other metal surfaces for hands-free measuring. The powerful magnet can even retrieve dropped tools in hard-to-reach places.
- Heavy-Duty Nylon Coating: Reinforced for long-lasting performance, the blade resists wear and tear in demanding environments.
- Retraction Brake: Provides smooth speed control and protects fingers during retraction.
- Double-Sided Printing: Offers clear visibility from any angle, making measurements faster and more efficient whether you're working overhead or in tight spaces.
- 4m Stand-Out: Allows for extended measurements without bending or collapsing.
- 3m Drop Protection: Built to withstand the rigours of the jobsite, this tape measure is impact-resistant up to 3 metres.
- Metal Belt Clip: Keeps the tape measure securely at your side for quick access and convenience throughout the day.
Whether you're measuring conduit runs, marking up cable routes, setting out containment, or checking spacing for fixings, this tape measure delivers the reliability and ease-of-use that electricians and installers across the UK expect from Klein Tools, with the added bonus of supporting a cause that makes a real difference.
A Legacy of Giving
This latest initiative builds on the success of previous fundraising campaigns, which have already raised £45,000 for Macmillan through the sale of co-branded tools. With the launch of the tape measure, Klein Tools and CEF aim to raise an additional £25,000, bringing the total contribution to an inspiring £70,000.
Vanessa Molloy, Head of Sales & Marketing at Super Rod/Klein Tools UK, comments: “Macmillan Cancer Support does whatever it takes to help people living with cancer to live life as fully as they can. It is a charity that so many trade professionals in the electrical industry hold close to their hearts, and we are extremely proud to be supporting CEF in this fantastic initiative driven by a mutual commitment towards Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).”
Rebecca Fanning, Corporate Partnerships Manager at Macmillan Cancer Support says: “We’re incredibly grateful to Klein Tools and City Electrical Factors for their continued support of Macmillan. This partnership is helping us to support the almost 3.5 million people living with cancer across the UK. Every tape measure sold is more than a donation; it’s a powerful gesture of solidarity and we’re proud to stand alongside Klein Tools and CEF in making a meaningful difference."
