US Tape 56909 16 ft Tape Measure

This US Tape 56909 tape measure provides a 16 ft steel blade for standard length measurements. The 3/4 in blade width offers clear visibility of fractional graduation marks. A slide lock holds the blade in position during layout work. The closed ABS case includes a belt clip for easy access on the job site.

Suited for SAE measurement tasks

This tool suits tradespeople and DIY users who work in feet and inches with 1/16 in graduations. The automatic blade return and 3-rivet hook construction support repeated daily use. Buyers who need metric graduations or a magnetic hook tip should look at a different model. The non-magnetic single hook limits attachment to ferrous surfaces.

16 ft blade length decides fit

The 16 ft blade length is the specification that determines whether this measure reaches the required distance. A 4 ft standout allows one-person measurement across moderate spans. Steel blade material resists wear during regular extension and retraction cycles. The SAE-only scale fits projects specified in imperial units.

Questions about this item

How loud is the blade return when the tape measure is used repeatedly?

The automatic blade return snaps the steel blade back into the ABS case quickly, producing a sharp click each time it locks home.

What mounting surface does the belt clip require?

The included belt clip slides over a standard belt or waistband up to about two inches wide for hands-free carry.

Will the 3/4 in blade stand out far enough to reach across a 4 ft gap without bending?

The 3/4 in steel blade has a rated standout of 4 ft, so it stays rigid across that distance when extended horizontally.
