Using the Klein Tools 5196 tape measure holder is super easy. First, find a belt that's up to 2.5 inches wide and slide the holder onto it through the slotted part. Then, place your 25 - 30 foot power return tape measure into the holder. The cut - out sides let you quickly grab the tape when you need it. When it comes to maintenance, keep it away from excessive moisture and sharp objects. If it gets dirty, you can gently wipe it with a dry cloth. Also, don't overstuff it with other tools as it's designed specifically for the tape measure. With proper use and care, this holder will serve you well for a long time.
