Lufkin L616CME-02 Pocket Tape 16 Ft Metric Steel

Product Description

The LUFKIN L616CME-02 is a 16-foot pocket tape measure built for trade professionals who need reliable, accurate measurement in the field. The steel blade features a yellow clad finish for high visibility and durability under jobsite conditions. At 0.75 inches wide, the blade provides enough rigidity for single-hand extension without excessive flex. Metric graduations are printed directly on the blade, and 1/16-inch markings provide fine resolution for layout and fitment work. This is a compact, belt-ready tool suited for HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and general mechanical trades.

The L616CME-02 is designed for everyday field use where a compact, pocketable tape is needed alongside other hand tools. The A12 blade style and metric measurement type make it well suited for professionals who work with metric specifications or who need dual-reference measurements on residential and commercial jobsites. It is sold individually and is appropriate for technicians, installers, and service pros across all building trades.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Inspect the blade for burrs or kinks before use, as a damaged blade can produce inaccurate readings. Keep the blade clean and dry to prevent corrosion and ensure smooth retraction. Replace the tape if the blade develops cracks, the locking mechanism fails, or graduations become illegible.
