Apex HW226ME Banner Tape 100 Ft Steel Sae/metric

Product Description

The APEX HW226ME is a 100-foot steel blade tape measure featuring a yellow clad blade finish and dual SAE/Metric graduation. Designed for layout, measurement, and marking tasks on commercial and residential job sites, this tape is built for trades professionals who need reliable, readable measurements in both imperial and metric units. The B9 blade style offers a sturdy, flexible steel blade that stands out and retracts smoothly. At 1.6 pounds and a compact case footprint, it stores easily in a tool bag or on a belt for all-day use.

The HW226ME is suited for general construction, rough and finish carpentry, plumbing rough-in, HVAC ductwork layout, electrical conduit runs, and any trade application requiring extended-reach linear measurement. The 100-foot length makes it practical for larger layout work where a standard 25-foot or 35-foot tape falls short. The SAE/Metric dual graduation makes it useful across project types that mix measurement standards.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Inspect the blade for kinks or damage before each use, as a damaged blade can yield inaccurate readings. Retract the blade fully after use to prevent edge wear and protect the clad coating. Store in a dry location to avoid corrosion on the steel blade.
