Apex OC213DN 50 Ft B5 Tape Measure Replacement Blade

Product Description

The APEX OC213DN is a 50-foot replacement blade designed for Anchor-series tape measures. This B5-style blade measures 0.375 inches wide and provides a direct-fit solution for restoring a worn or damaged tape measure to working condition. At 0.6 pounds, the blade ships as a single unit and is sized to fit within a case measuring 5.4 inches long, 4.5 inches wide, and 1.2 inches tall. Tape measure blades of this type are replaced by tradespeople across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction when the existing blade is kinked, broken, or has worn graduations. Replacing just the blade extends the life of the tape housing.

The OC213DN is suited for field use in residential and commercial trade applications where a 50-foot measuring range is required. Typical use cases include layout work, rough-in measurements, and equipment placement. This blade is sold individually and is intended for technicians and tradespeople who already own a compatible Anchor tape measure housing and need a blade-only replacement rather than a complete new tool.

Installation Notes

Blade replacement on tape measures should be performed by a technician familiar with the specific tape housing design. Refer to the tape measure manufacturer instructions for blade removal and installation procedure. Handle the blade edge with care during installation to avoid cuts. Inspect the housing spring and case for damage before installing a new blade.
