Keson 25 ft Steel SAE/Metric Tape Measure
This Keson tape measure provides 25 ft and 7.5 m of steel blade for professional layout and construction tasks. The single-sided blade displays graduations in inches, feet, centimeters and millimeters at 1/16 in increments. A non-magnetic single hook anchors at the zero point for accurate inside and outside measurements. The finger brake and slide lock hold the blade firmly during marking.
Practical limits of the single-sided SAE/metric
The 1 3/16 in wide steel blade reads in one direction only, so the user must orient the tape for legible marks. Automatic return retracts the blade quickly, requiring control to prevent the hook from snapping against the case. Graduations stop at 1/16 in, limiting precision for fine joinery. The 25 ft length suits room-scale work but falls short for long-run site layout.
ABS case with rubber grip and slide lock
The black ABS plastic case measures 3 1/4 in long and incorporates a rubber grip for secure handling in dusty or wet conditions. A slide lock engages with a thumb motion, leaving the index finger free for the finger brake. The single hook lacks magnetic assistance, so it relies on friction or a notch to hold on ferrous edges. Rounded case edges reduce pocket wear during daily carry.

Questions about this item
Should I choose the 25 ft or 7.5 m marking for my project?
The blade carries both SAE and metric graduations, so you read feet, inches and 1/16 in on one edge and centimetres and millimetres on the other without switching tools.
How does the 1 3/16 in blade width help when I am measuring alone?
The wide steel blade stays rigid over longer spans, reducing buckling so the hook end remains steady for one-person layout work.
What does the slide lock actually secure on this tape?
The slide lock clamps the steel blade at any point during extension, holding the 25 ft / 7.5 m length firmly until you release it for automatic return.
