Open Reel Tape Measure
The Keson Industries OTR-18M-100 is an open reel tape measure built for long-distance layout on construction sites and survey jobs. Its fiberglass blade stretches 100 ft or 30 m and carries SAE and metric graduations printed on both sides. The 1/2 in wide blade is coated in clear yellow and white for readability in bright light.
Double Throat Rollers And Folding Hook
Double throat rollers guide the blade smoothly during manual rewind and reduce edge wear when the tape is pulled across rough ground. A folding hook at the zero point anchors on studs or corners without a second person, while stud markings speed up framing layout. No belt clip is fitted, so the reel is carried by hand or set on a flat surface.
ABS Case With Orange Finish
The open ABS plastic case is moulded in high-visibility orange and measures 12.300 by 7.600 units, giving a compact footprint that fits in a tool bucket. Manual rewind means no spring to fatigue, and the clear blade coating resists moisture and abrasion during daily outdoor use. No lock mechanism is present, so the blade stays extended only while held under tension.

Questions about this item
Will the fiberglass blade need replacing if it stretches over time?
The fiberglass blade resists stretching and the clear coating protects the yellow and white graduations from wear during daily use.
What limits how far the 100 ft tape can be pulled out in one go?
The blade length is fixed at 100 ft or 30 m, so that is the maximum single extension before the folding hook stops it.
Does the open ABS case get hot or noisy when the tape is rewound manually all day?
Manual rewind with double throat rollers runs silently and the orange ABS case stays at ambient temperature during continuous use.
