Lufkin OCN1296SF590N Tape Measure Blade 100 Ft

Product Description

The LUFKIN OCN1296SF590N is a 100-foot replacement tape blade designed for use in compatible Lufkin tape measure housings. The blade is constructed from steel with a chrome nickel finish and measures 1/2 inch wide. Graduated in 1/8-inch increments using the D1 graduation style, it delivers the precision required for layout and measurement tasks on commercial and residential job sites. The Double Duty designation indicates dual-sided utility. This replacement blade is installed by general contractors, framers, electricians, plumbers, and other trades who rely on long-tape measurements for accurate layout work.

This blade suits applications where a 100-foot steel tape is required, such as site layout, structural framing measurements, large-diameter pipe runs, or extended electrical conduit routing. The 1/8-inch D1 graduation pattern supports fast, accurate readings across the full length of the tape. It is intended as a direct replacement component rather than a complete tape measure unit, making it a cost-effective solution when the original blade is worn, kinked, or broken while the housing remains serviceable.

Installation Notes

Installation of a replacement tape blade should be performed by a qualified tradesperson familiar with the specific tape measure housing design. Retract any remaining old blade fully and follow the housing manufacturer's instructions for blade replacement to avoid injury from sharp edges. Gloves are recommended when handling the steel blade during installation. Do not force the blade into the housing if resistance is encountered.
