Keson 16 ft Tape Measure
The Keson PGT1816V is a 16-foot steel tape measure with a 1-inch wide blade graduated in inches, feet and fractions. It features a nylon-coated yellow blade, a 3-rivet hook and an automatic rewind housed in an orange ABS case with a belt clip. The toggle lock holds the blade firmly during layout work.
Suited for layout work, not precision joinery
This tool suits framers, carpenters and DIYers who need quick, durable measurements up to 16 feet with 8 feet of standout. Builders who require metric graduations, a magnetic hook or a blade wider than one inch should look at other models.
16 ft blade length decides reach
The 16-foot blade length determines the maximum single-span measurement before repositioning. The 1-inch width and fractional graduations down to 1/32 inch in the first 12 inches support readable marks on rough lumber.

Questions about this item
Does the 16 ft steel blade need any other tool to start measuring?
No, the 16 ft steel blade with nylon coating and 3-rivet hook works on its own; just pull it out and hook the end.
Will the 1 in yellow blade with fractional graduations match the scale on my older Keson tape?
Yes, both use SAE in/ft/fractional markings with 1/16 in. steps and 1/32 in. on the first 12 in., so readings line up directly.
How can I confirm the automatic rewind and toggle lock are functioning after first use?
Extend the blade past the 8 ft standout, release the toggle lock — the blade should snap back fully into the orange ABS case without binding.
