Lufkin HW226 Tape Measure 100 Foot 3/8 Inch Blade

Product Description

The LUFKIN HW226 is a 100-foot long tape measure built for trade professionals who need reliable, accurate linear measurements in the field. The 3/8-inch wide, 0.008-inch thick steel blade is yellow with bold black and red graduation markings at 1/8-inch intervals using the B1 graduation style, making readings fast and clear in varied lighting conditions. Nylon rollers guide the blade smoothly in and out of the rugged vinyl-covered steel case. A large, easy-action winding drum with friction washers ensures controlled retraction. This tool is suited for plumbers, HVAC technicians, electricians, and general contractors who require a long-reach tape for layout, rough-in, and measurement tasks.

The HW226 is a long-reach tape measure intended for professional trade use across residential and commercial jobsites. Its 100-foot length makes it well-suited for layout work, pipe runs, duct routing measurements, conduit planning, and structural rough-in tasks where shorter tapes fall short. The closed, vinyl-covered black steel case protects the blade in demanding shop and field environments. This tape ships individually and is appropriate for individual technician carry or tool crib stock.
