Keson ST1850Y 50 ft long tape
The Keson ST1850Y is a 50 ft long tape measure designed for layout tasks that exceed the reach of standard pocket tapes. Its 3/8 in wide steel blade provides the stiffness needed for one-person measuring across spans such as foundations, fencing or large-format framing. The high-visibility orange stainless-steel case makes the tool easy to spot on a busy jobsite.
Manual return with 1/8 in graduations
The blade returns manually, so there is no spring mechanism to jam or lose tension over time. Graduations are marked in 1/8 in increments with 16 in stud markings highlighted for quick framing reference. The non-magnetic single hook anchors at the hook end and reads from the zero point, while the non-locking design means the blade must be held during a reading.
Consistent accuracy on extended runs
Because the blade is single-sided steel with no locking brake, it lies flat against the work surface and resists the mid-span sag that can distort short-burst measurements. Manual rewind eliminates the recoil shock that can bend the hook or kink the blade on long pulls. The steel construction maintains its calibrated length through repeated cycles of extension and retraction in varying temperatures.
