What this tape measure does
The Keson MC-18-100 is a 100 ft long tape with a 1/2 in fiberglass blade. It gives SAE readings in feet and inches with 1/8 in graduations. The nonmagnetic single hook marks zero at the hook end. Builders and surveyors who need a lightweight, manual-return tape for outdoor layout work will find it suitable.
How it fits on the job
The stainless steel case measures 6 1/2 in long and is tether ready for secure attachment. Manual blade return means no spring to maintain, and the nonlocking design keeps the action simple. A 100 ft reach frees you from joining shorter tapes on long runs, while the black case stays visible in grass or dirt.
Thermals noise and power
No motor or battery is involved, so the tool produces no heat, no noise and draws no power. The fiberglass blade resists stretching in normal temperatures and will not conduct electricity. Manual winding effort is the only physical input required during everyday use.

Questions about this item
How far does the 1/2 in blade extend before I run out of tape?
The blade reaches 100 ft, giving the full measuring range in a single pull.
Does the stainless-steel case get hot or loud when the tape is pulled out all day?
The manual-return, non-locking design has no motor or spring, so it stays silent and at ambient temperature during continuous use.
What mounting point do I need on my belt or bag for the tether-ready case?
A lanyard hole or carabiner loop is required; the case includes a tether-ready attachment point but ships without a tether.
