Lufkin LM1316B-02 Nite Eye Power Tape Measure 16 Ft

Product Description

The LUFKIN LM1316B-02 is a 16-foot steel-blade power tape measure built for trade professionals who work in low-light conditions or confined spaces. The Nite Eye blade features high-visibility markings printed using a decal marking style, making it easier to read measurements without stopping to reposition or grab a flashlight. The blade is 1-1/4 inches wide and coated with an abrasion-resistant finish to hold up against repeated contact with rough surfaces, concrete edges, and framing lumber. The housing is constructed from ABS lightweight high-impact material, keeping total unit weight at 1.025 pounds for comfortable carry on the tool belt all day.

The LM1316B-02 is suited for residential and light commercial construction, HVAC rough-in, plumbing layout, and electrical conduit runs where accurate linear measurement and blade durability are daily requirements. The 16-foot reach covers standard stud spacing, duct dimensioning, and pipe run measurements without needing a second person to hold the tape. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors will find the combination of the wide blade and Nite Eye markings practical across a wide range of job site conditions.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this tool. Inspect the blade and hook for damage before use, as a bent hook will introduce consistent measurement error. Replace the tape measure if the blade coating is significantly worn or if the return spring no longer retracts the blade fully. Store away from standing water to prevent blade corrosion over time.
