Komelon SL2812 Tape Measure 12 Ft 5/8 in Yellow Blade

Product Description

The KOMELON SL2812 is a 12-foot steel-blade tape measure built for everyday measuring tasks in the trades. The blade is 5/8 inches wide, finished in high-visibility yellow, and graduated in 1/16-inch increments using standard inch markings. The ABS case is black with high-visibility green accents, making it easy to spot on a cluttered job site. An automatic blade lock holds the tape in position during measurement, and a thumb-push-button retrieval system returns the blade quickly and smoothly. The unit weighs 0.2 pounds, making it light enough to carry on a belt all day. Licensed contractors, electricians, plumbers, and general tradespeople will find this a reliable pocket tape for layout and rough-in work.

The SL2812 is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a compact 12-foot tape covers most layout needs. It is commonly used for rough-in measurements, cabinet installation, electrical box placement, and general interior framing. The built-in belt clip allows hands-free carry between measurements, reducing the time spent retrieving tools from a pouch or toolbox. Its lightweight ABS housing holds up to normal job-site handling without adding bulk to a tool belt.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Inspect the blade for kinks or burrs before use, as a damaged blade can produce inaccurate readings. Store the tape retracted and avoid dropping the unit on hard surfaces, which can crack the ABS case or damage the rewind mechanism. Replace the unit if the blade lock no longer holds position reliably during measurement.
