Easy-Carry Long Tape Measures


	Inch
	Inch/Metric

Hold on to the large, rubber-coated handle while carrying these tape measures. Use them outdoors and in dirty environments—an open reel allows dirt, sand, and other debris to fall away. Blades are coated to resist scratches, wear, and corrosion.

Pointed-hook tip grabs the edge of an object or drives into wood.

Fiberglass blades are flexible for measuring curved surfaces, nonconductive for work near electricity, and corrosion resistant for use in harsh environments.

Steel blades are more rigid and durable than fiberglass blades.

Liquid-Level Tape Measures

Also known as oil-gauging tapes, use these tape measures to check the level of oil and other fluids in deep, large containers such as tanks and vats.

Liquid in tank tape measures have a cylindrical plumb bob that sinks to the bottom of the tank. The blade indicates the distance to the surface of the liquid.

Liquid removed from tank tape measures have a rectangular plumb bob. To find the amount of liquid removed from a tank, lower the plumb bob until it makes contact with the liquid’s surface, then add the measurement from the plumb bob to the measurement from the blade. To determine the amount of liquid in the tank, subtract the liquid removed from tank measurement from the overall tank height.

Chrome-plated steel blades are for measuring dark liquids.

Black steel blades are for measuring clear liquids. They have wear-resistant etched markings.

Stainless steel blades are corrosion-resistant. Use them in clear and dark liquids. They have wear-resistant etched markings.

Plumb Bobs for Liquid-Level Tape Measures

Use as a weight on the end of your blade. Plumb bobs with graduations have wear-resistant etched markings.

Liquid in tank plumb bobs sink to the bottom of the tank. Stainless steel is more corrosion-resistant than brass.

Liquid removed from tank plumb bobs make contact with the surface of the liquid.
