Apex PHV1312DN Power Tape Measure 12 Ft Steel Blade

Product Description

The APEX PHV1312DN is a 12-foot SAE power tape measure built for trade professionals who need a reliable, readable blade in the field. The A4-style steel blade features a clearcoat finish that resists wear and keeps markings legible over repeated use. The rawhide-colored case measures 6.3 inches long, 3.7 inches wide, and 1.2 inches tall, giving it a compact profile that fits comfortably in a tool pouch or on a belt. At 0.6 pounds, it is light enough to carry all day without fatigue. The 0.75-inch blade width provides a stiff reach for measuring without a second hand on most standard layout tasks.

This tape measure is suited for residential and commercial trade work across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general construction applications. It is a practical single-unit tool for technicians and installers who need accurate SAE measurements during rough-in, layout, equipment positioning, and service calls. The compact case size makes it easy to store in a service bag alongside other hand tools without taking up excess space.
