What this long tape measure does
This Keson long tape measure extends to 100 ft and uses a 3/8 in steel blade with white background and black and red graduation marks. The SAE scale shows feet and inches in 1/8 in increments on a single-sided blade. A non-magnetic single hook anchors at the zero point for one-person measuring on flat surfaces.
Thermals noise and power draw
The polycarbonate case measures 7 1/2 in long and houses a manual blade return with no locking mechanism. No motor, battery or electronic components are present, so the tool produces no heat, no audible noise and draws no power during operation. The gray case protects the blade from impact and debris on site.
Build quality and daily use
The steel blade resists stretching and the polycarbonate case withstands drops and rough handling in automotive and construction environments. Double-sided markings are not included, so readings are taken from one face only. The non-locking return requires the user to guide the blade back by hand, which reduces the chance of a sudden snap-back injury.

Questions about this item
How do I attach the non-magnetic single hook to the work surface when I start measuring?
Hook the single non-magnetic end over the edge of the material; it has no magnet so it will not hold itself on flat steel.
What part of this tape will wear out first and need replacement?
The 100 ft steel blade and its printed graduations will wear or kink before the polycarbonate case or manual rewind mechanism.
How far can I extend the 3/8 in blade before it buckles under its own weight?
Standout length is not applicable for this long tape, so the blade must be supported along its full 100 ft run.
