Lufkin C120TPN Tape Measure 20 Ft Steel Case

Product Description

The LUFKIN C120TPN is a 20-foot steel tape measure designed for accurate linear measurement in trade and light industrial applications. The blade measures 3/8 inch wide with a chrome clad steel construction and a silver finish, graduated in inches at 1/100-inch increments. The closed-style case is fabricated from vinyl-covered steel in black, providing durability in demanding job site conditions. A large easy-action winding drum with friction washers allows smooth, controlled retraction, while a nylon roller guides the blade in and out of the case without binding. The unit weighs 0.535 pounds and ships individually packaged.

This tape measure is suited for residential and light commercial construction, mechanical layout, HVAC rough-in, plumbing rough-in, and electrical installation work. Its compact 3/8-inch blade width makes it practical for tight measurement runs where a wider blade would be unwieldy. The inch graduation at 1/100 increments supports precision layout tasks that require finer resolution than standard 1/16-inch tapes. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors commonly carry this style of tape for everyday field measurements.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this tool. Inspect the blade for kinks or burrs before use, as blade damage can affect measurement accuracy. When retracting the blade, guide it with one hand to prevent sharp edges from causing injury. Store the tape away from moisture to preserve blade coating and case integrity.
