16 ft Plan Reader Tape
The Johnson 1819-0016 is a 16 ft tape measure designed for quick, accurate readings on site. Its architects scale lets users translate plan dimensions directly in the field. The wide chrome blade displays large, easy-read graduations for clear visibility. An ABS case with rubber grip gives comfort and control during extended use.
Upgrade from basic rule
This model replaces short pocket rules and narrow blades that lack an architects scale. The automatic rewind system speeds repeat measurements and reduces blade kinks. The jump is worth it when you need plan-to-site translation without a separate calculator. It suits trades that move between drawings and finished work daily.
Capacity and headroom
The 16 ft blade with 1 in width and 1/16 in graduations handles room layouts, framing checks and finish carpentry. It runs out on long-run site work, exterior elevations or commercial spans beyond its reach. The SAE-only scale limits use on metric-spec projects. The compact case fits a tool belt but cannot replace a long tape for large-footprint layouts.

- Quick room scaling with built-in architects scale

Questions about this item
What size belt clip or holster fits the 1 in. wide chrome blade?
The 1 in. wide blade fits standard 1 in. tape measure holsters and belt clips designed for 16 ft models.
How do I engage the automatic rewind without the blade snapping back too fast?
Hold the blade gently with your thumb while pressing the release button, then guide it in to control the rewind speed.
When should I replace the blade if the 1/16 in. graduations wear off?
Replace the blade once the 1/16 in. markings become hard to read, as worn graduations reduce measurement accuracy.
