Keson Engineers Tape Measure 3/8 in x 200 ft Gray

Keson Engineers 200 ft Tape Measure

The Keson Engineers tape measure provides a 200 ft steel blade for long-distance layout work. Its 3/8 in width keeps the tape light enough for one-person use on large sites. The open ABS plastic case in gray resists impact while letting debris fall clear. Surveyors and civil engineers who need a durable, readable long tape will find it suited to daily field use.

Graduations and manual rewind

The blade is graduated in feet with 1/10 and 1/100 ft markings for precise decimal readings. A folding hook anchors the zero point securely on edges or stakes. No lock mechanism is fitted so the blade must be held during measurement. Manual rewind requires steady cranking to return 200 ft of steel without kinking the double nylon coating.

Open case setup and common issues

The open case design allows quick visual inspection and easy cleaning of mud or grit from the blade. No belt clip is included so the tape must be carried by hand or stored in a pouch. Users should wipe the steel blade dry before rewinding to prevent corrosion under the coating. The folding hook can snag if not folded flat before cranking the reel back into the case.
