Keson ST10503X 50 ft Engineer's Tape
This Keson ST10503X is a 50 ft engineer's tape measure with a 3/8 in steel blade. It uses SAE/engineers scale graduation marks at 1/100 ft increments. The case is stainless steel in high-visibility orange with a rubber grip. A speed rewind mechanism and nonlocking manual return suit surveyors, civil engineers and layout crews who need quick, long-range measurements.
Capacity and headroom for 50 ft runs
The 50 ft blade covers foundation layout, property lines and large interior spans in a single pull. Sixteen-inch stud markings accelerate framing checks without mental conversion. The 1/100 ft graduations give precise decimal readings for engineering calculations. Users needing metric units or longer spans will find this tape does not meet those requirements.
Stainless case and single hook for daily use
The stainless steel case resists corrosion and jobsite abuse while the orange colour stays visible in grass or debris. A nonmagnetic single hook anchors on edges without attracting metal shavings. Manual blade return and speed rewind keep the mechanism simple and field-repairable. The rubber grip improves control when wearing gloves or working in wet conditions.

Questions about this item
Will the 50 ft blade and 1/100 ft graduations work with my existing 16 in stud-marked framing tapes?
Yes, the 16 in stud markings on this tape align with standard framing layout, so measurements transfer directly between this engineer's scale and your current tapes.
How can I verify the 1/100 ft graduations are accurate after I start using it?
Hook the non-magnetic tip on a known 50 ft reference, pull the blade taut, and confirm the 100 ft mark lines up exactly; the manual rewind lets you tension the steel blade consistently each time.
What comes in the box and do I need a separate case or hook?
The high-visibility orange stainless-steel case, 50 ft steel blade with single hook, rubber grip, and speed-rewind mechanism are all included; no extra case or hook is required.
