Keson 16 ft Tape Measure
The Keson PGT18M16V is a 16 ft steel tape measure built for tradespeople and DIY users who need reliable linear measurement. Its high-visibility orange ABS case is easy to spot on a busy job site. The blade returns automatically and locks with a toggle mechanism for hands-free reading.
Installation and Common Issues
No installation is required; simply pull the blade to extend and engage the toggle lock to hold it. The finger brake adds extra control during layout work. The most common issue is debris fouling the automatic return spring, so wipe the blade clean before retracting it.
Pre-Purchase Checks
Confirm that a 16 ft reach suits your typical tasks, as longer runs will need a different tool. Verify you are comfortable reading both metric and SAE graduations marked in millimetres, centimetres, feet and inches. Ensure the 1 in blade width fits the spaces where you plan to measure.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the blade extends and locks properly after first use?
Pull the 16 ft steel blade fully out and engage the toggle lock; the finger brake should hold the blade rigid at any graduation mark without creep.

The high-visibility orange ABS case with automatic blade return is included; no belt clip, lanyard or replacement blades are supplied in the box.
Which blade length should I choose for general layout work?
The 16 ft / 5 m blade covers most room-scale measurements while keeping the case compact at 3 1/4 in long.
