The blade is 3\/8 inch (10 mm) wide and 0.008 inch (0.2 mm) thick, with bold B9-style graduations marked in 1\/8-inch increments using black and red numbers for fast, clear reading. The yellow blade feeds in and out through nylon rollers for smooth operation, and a large easy-action winding drum with friction washers gives controlled retraction. The case is a rugged vinyl-covered steel housing in brown, designed to hold up in jobsite conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis tape measure is suited for residential and light commercial layout, rough framing, mechanical system rough-in, and general trade measurement tasks. It is appropriate for use by HVAC technicians, plumbers, electricians, and general contractors who need a compact, reliable long-range tape for everyday layout work. The 50-foot length covers most single-room and equipment-clearance measurements without requiring a longer reel tape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e50-foot blade length for extended measurement reach on the jobsite\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e3\/8 inch (10 mm) wide steel blade, 0.008 inch thick for rigidity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e1\/8-inch B9-style graduations with bold black and red numbers\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eNylon rollers guide blade smoothly in and out of case\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eLarge easy-action winding drum with friction washers for controlled retraction\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRugged vinyl-covered steel case in brown for jobsite durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as a standard long-range steel-blade tape measure suitable for general trade measurement applications across HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and construction disciplines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo installation is required for this hand tool. Inspect the blade for kinks or damage before use, as a bent blade can produce inaccurate readings. Avoid overextending the tape beyond its rated length or allowing it to snap back uncontrolled, which can damage the blade or hook end. Store in a dry location to prevent blade corrosion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 50 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inch (10 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.008 inch (0.2 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/8 inch\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation Style\u003c\/strong\u003e: B9\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel with vinyl cover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLock Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: No Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 pound\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUNSPSC Code\u003c\/strong\u003e: 27111801\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: LUFKIN\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: HW223ME\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"LUFKIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540522991922,"sku":"HW223ME","price":79.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/3bfac66cce1881ffd00cf076ef1325ee.jpg?v=1785857418","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/lufkin-hw223me-tape-measure-50-ft-3-8-in-steel-blade","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
