Lufkin W608 Tape Measure 8 Foot 1/4 Inch

Product Description

The LUFKIN W608 is a compact pocket tape measure with an 8-foot steel blade and a chrome-finished steel case. The blade measures 1/4 inch wide and is marked in 1/16-inch and 1/32-inch graduations using the A16 graduation style, making it easy to read fine measurements in tight spaces. Power retraction keeps the blade controlled during retract. At 0.1 pounds, this tape fits in a shirt pocket, briefcase, or toolbox without adding bulk. It is suited for tradespeople and service technicians who need a reliable short-range measuring tool on the job.

The W608 is designed for general measurement tasks in light commercial and residential service environments. Its compact 8-foot range and slim 1/4-inch blade make it a practical secondary tape for HVAC techs, plumbers, electricians, and other service trades who frequently need quick measurements in confined areas such as equipment rooms, panel boxes, or utility closets. The yellow blade provides contrast against most surfaces for fast reading.
