Lufkin HC256N Tape Measure 100 Foot 3/8 Inch

Product Description

The LUFKIN HC256N is a 100-foot steel tape measure designed for layout and measurement work in the field or on the job site. The blade is 3/8 inches wide, chrome-clad steel with a silver finish and 1/8-inch graduated inch markings, making it readable in a range of lighting conditions. The closed steel case is vinyl-covered for durability and houses a large easy-action winding drum with friction washers for controlled retraction. A nylon roller guides the blade smoothly in and out of the case, reducing wear at the opening. At 1 pound, it is a compact and lightweight tool for daily professional use by contractors, plumbers, electricians, and HVAC technicians.

This tape measure is suited for residential and commercial trade work where long-run measurements are required — rough-in layouts, pipe runs, conduit routing, duct runs, and structural measurements. The 100-foot length handles larger floor plans and mechanical room layouts without the need to reposition. The inch-graduation format is standard for North American trade applications. The black steel case with vinyl cover holds up to job site conditions including dust and minor impacts.

Installation Notes
