Apex O120PN Replacement Tape Measure Blade 20 Ft

Product Description

The APEX O120PN is a replacement blade designed for Artisan Nubian tape measures. It measures 20 feet in length and 0.375 inches in width, following the B12 blade style. The blade is sold as a single unit and is intended for use by contractors, tradespeople, and field technicians who need to restore a worn or damaged tape measure without replacing the entire tool. At 0.3 pounds, it is lightweight and straightforward to install in compatible housings.

This replacement blade fits Artisan Nubian tape measure housings that originally accept a 3/8-inch wide blade in a 20-foot length. It suits general-purpose measuring tasks in residential and commercial construction, HVAC rough-in layout, plumbing, and electrical work where accurate linear measurement is required. The B12 blade style is specific to compatible Artisan Nubian models, so confirming the existing housing model before ordering is recommended.

Installation Notes

Blade replacement on tape measures should be performed by a qualified technician familiar with the specific housing mechanism. Ensure the tape measure is fully retracted and tension is relieved before disassembling the housing. Follow the manufacturer's disassembly instructions for the Artisan Nubian housing to avoid damaging the spring or casing. Do not force the blade during installation, as improper seating can affect measurement accuracy.
