Bostitch BOS30485 Tape Measure 12 Foot Wide Blade

Product Description

The BOSTITCH BOS30485 is a 12-foot tape measure built for reliable use on the job site or in the shop. The wide, high-contrast blade is easy to read in low-light conditions, and the 7-foot standout lets one person take measurements without a second hand holding the tape. The bright yellow, high-impact case improves visibility on cluttered work surfaces and withstands the drops and rough handling common in trade work. A three-rivet, corrosion-resistant hook maintains accuracy on both inside and outside measurements. Weighing just 0.29 pounds, it is light enough to carry all day without adding bulk to a tool belt.

The BOS30485 is suited for general measuring tasks across construction, rough framing, finish carpentry, plumbing rough-in, and electrical layout work. Its compact form factor fits comfortably in a tool pouch or apron pocket. The combination of a durable case, legible blade, and rigid standout makes it a practical everyday carry for contractors, tradespeople, and facility maintenance technicians who need a dependable short-range tape on hand.

Installation Notes

No installation required. When taking inside measurements, add the case width to the blade reading for an accurate total dimension. Inspect the hook rivets periodically for looseness, as a shifted hook introduces measurement error. Store the tape retracted to protect the blade edge and extend service life.
