Apex C213CN Anchor Chrome Clad Tape Measure 50 Ft

Product Description

The APEX C213CN is a 50-foot SAE tape measure built around a chrome-clad steel blade with a B3 blade style profile. The chrome cladding protects the blade surface against corrosion and wear in field conditions, making it a reliable layout and measurement tool for HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors. The blade is 0.375 inches wide and housed in a compact case measuring 4.7 inches long, 3.9 inches wide, and 1.3 inches tall. At 0.93 pounds, it is light enough for daily belt or pouch carry without adding significant load to a tool kit.

The C213CN is suited for residential and light commercial jobsite use where accurate SAE linear measurement is required. Common applications include ductwork layout, pipe run planning, conduit routing, framing measurement, and general rough-in work. The 50-foot blade length covers most single-room or single-floor layout tasks without the need to reposition. It is part of the Anchor family of measuring tools distributed under the APEX brand.

Key Features

• 50-foot chrome-clad steel blade with B3 blade style for extended reach on layout tasks
• Chrome cladding resists corrosion and surface wear in field conditions
• 0.375-inch blade width for smooth extension and retraction
• SAE measurement markings for standard inch-fraction layout work
• Compact 4.7 x 3.9 x 1.3 inch case fits tool pouches and belts
• Lightweight at 0.93 pounds for all-day carry comfort

Compatibility

Designed as a general-purpose SAE tape measure for trade and construction use. No specific tool system or equipment compatibility is required for use.

Installation Notes

No power source or system shutdown is required for tape measure use. Extend the blade smoothly and avoid kinking or bending the blade sharply at the case opening, as this can damage the chrome cladding and reduce blade lifespan. Retract the blade under controlled tension rather than allowing free snap-back to preserve the internal spring mechanism. Store away from standing water to maintain blade finish over time.
