Apex PQR1316N Quickread Tape Measure 16 Ft Sae

Product Description

The APEX PQR1316N is a 16-foot SAE tape measure from the Crescent Lufkin Quickread line, designed for accurate linear measurement on the job site and in the field. The blade is constructed from steel with a yellow clad finish, offering durability and high-visibility contrast for fast readback in low-light or fast-paced work conditions. The blade measures 0.75 inches wide and follows an A3 blade style. At 0.62 pounds, the compact housing measures 5.9 inches long and 1.8 inches tall, making it a practical carry tool for electricians, plumbers, HVAC techs, carpenters, and general tradespeople who need a reliable SAE measuring tape on hand.

This tape measure is suited for residential and light commercial trade applications where SAE inch-based measurement is required. It is commonly used during rough-in work, equipment layout, duct runs, pipe routing, and fixture placement. The Quickread blade style is intended to speed up measurement reading, reducing the need to re-read markings during repetitive layout tasks. It is sold individually and requires no additional accessories for standard use.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this tool. Inspect the blade for kinks or damage before use, as a bent or cracked blade can produce inaccurate readings. Store the tape retracted and avoid dropping the housing, which can damage the retraction spring or blade locking mechanism. Replacement is recommended when blade markings become worn or the retraction mechanism no longer functions smoothly.
