Lufkin W616 Tape Measure 6 Foot 1/4 Inch Blade

Product Description

The LUFKIN W616 is a compact, pocket-size tape measure with a 6-foot steel blade measuring 1/4 inch wide. The yellow blade features bold graduations in 1/16-inch and 1/32-inch increments using the A16 graduation style, making it easy to read in low-light or fast-paced job conditions. The high-strength steel case is finished in black and sized for a shirt pocket or toolbox tray. At 0.082 pounds, it adds virtually no weight to a tool kit. Tradespeople, estimators, and inspectors reach for this tape on rough-in measurements, quick layout checks, and detail work where a full-size tape measure is unnecessary.

The W616 suits light-duty measurement tasks in residential and light commercial settings. It is commonly used by HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians for checking clearances, fitting dimensions, and rough-in distances where a short, maneuverable tape is more practical than a 25-foot unit. Its pocket size also makes it a natural fit for office takeoffs, shop layout, and inspection work. No belt clip is included, so it rides cleanly in a chest pocket or parts pouch.

No installation is required for this tool. Store the blade retracted when not in use to protect the graduation markings and blade edge. Avoid exposing the steel blade or case to prolonged moisture to prevent corrosion. Inspect the blade for kinks or burrs periodically, as damage can affect measurement accuracy.
