Lufkin HYT50CME Tape Measure 164 Ft 3/8 Inch Yellow Blade

Product Description

The LUFKIN HYT50CME is a long-range steel blade tape measure built for trade professionals who need reliable linear measurement across extended spans. The blade runs 164 feet long and 3/8 inches wide, with 1/8-inch graduations marked in both inch and metric scales. The yellow steel blade is clad with an abrasion-resistant coating to hold up against repeated use on rough surfaces. The black and orange ABS case is impact-resistant and self-standing, making it practical on uneven job sites. This tape is suited for layout, rough-in, and site measurement work in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general construction trades.

The HYT50CME is intended for professional field use where conventional short tapes fall short. The 164-foot length covers full-room layout, long-run pipe or duct routing, and site perimeter measurements without needing to reposition. The dual inch and metric graduation style makes it useful on projects that reference either standard. The self-standing case allows hands-free positioning during solo measurement tasks. It is well-suited for commercial and residential job sites where extended reach and fast blade retrieval matter.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this measuring tool. Store the tape coiled in its case when not in use to protect the blade coating and prevent kinking. Avoid pulling the blade past its maximum extension or allowing it to snap back uncontrolled, as this can damage the blade edge or the rewind mechanism. Periodic inspection of the blade tip and hook is recommended to ensure accurate zero-point readings.
