Lufkin PHV1048CMEN Tape Measure 26 Ft 1 in Blade

Product Description

The LUFKIN PHV1048CMEN is a 26-foot steel-blade tape measure designed for accurate linear measurement in trade and construction applications. The blade is 1 inch (12.70 mm) wide with a yellow finish and dual graduation in both inch and metric scales. Inch graduations are marked at 1/16 and 1/32 increments for precision layout work. The tape delivers an 8-foot standout, allowing single-person measurements across open spans without blade collapse. The high-visibility orange ABS case with overmold grip makes it easy to locate on a job site and reduces fatigue during extended use.

This tape measure is suited for residential and commercial construction, rough framing, finish carpentry, plumbing rough-in, and general trade layout tasks. The dual inch-metric graduation makes it practical for projects that reference both measurement systems. The toggle lock positioned on the top of the case keeps the blade extended during repetitive measurements. At 1.07 pounds, it is light enough for all-day carry on a tool belt. Electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, carpenters, and general contractors will all find this a practical everyday measuring tool.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Inspect the end hook for play before use, as a small amount of float is by design to compensate for inside versus outside measurements. Keep the blade clean and dry to prevent corrosion of the steel blade. Retract the blade slowly to avoid impact damage to the blade tip and internal spring mechanism.
