Westward 1MKT9 50 ft tape measure

The Westward 1MKT9 is a long tape measure designed for jobs that require a 50 ft reach. Its 3/8 in steel blade carries SAE graduations marked in 1/8 in increments for clear reading. The yellow blade has a nylon coating to resist wear and a folding hook tip for versatile anchoring. The closed ABS case with a rubber grip protects the blade and fits securely in hand.

Sustained measuring on site

The manual rewind lets the user control blade return speed during repeated long pulls across a site. Without a lock the blade stays extended only while tension is held, so the operator manages each measurement directly. The steel blade and nylon coating maintain readability after many cycles of extension and retraction. This tool suits tasks where frequent full-length deployments are normal.

Thermals noise and power draw

As a non-powered hand tool the Westward 1MKT9 produces no heat, no noise and draws no electricity during use. The ABS case with rubber grip stays at ambient temperature in normal conditions. Manual rewinding is silent and requires only the operator's effort. California Proposition 65 notices apply to materials used in the product.

Questions about this item

How does the manual rewind feel after a full day of pulling out and retracting the 50 ft blade?

The manual rewind requires hand-over-hand winding; with a 50 ft steel blade it takes moderate effort but stays smooth because the nylon coating reduces friction.

What surface or fastener does the folding hook need to catch on for the tape to stay put while measuring?

The folding hook grabs onto edges, nail heads or stud faces; it has no magnetic tip so it relies on a physical lip or hole to hold.

Will the ABS case with rubber grip survive repeated drops onto concrete alongside my older steel-cased tapes?

The ABS shell with rubber overmould absorbs impact better than bare metal cases, so it holds up well when mixed with heavier vintage tapes in the same tool bag.
