Lufkin W928 Tape Measure 8 Ft 1/2 Inch Blade

Product Description

The LUFKIN W928 is a compact 8-foot steel blade tape measure built for trade professionals who need a reliable, pocketable measuring tool on the job site. The 1/2-inch-wide yellow steel blade is graduated in 1/16-inch and 1/32-inch increments using an A1 graduation style, making it suitable for precise layout and measurement tasks in plumbing, HVAC, electrical, and general construction work. The chrome-finished steel case weighs just 0.19 pounds, keeping it light for all-day carry. A belt clip is included for secure attachment to a belt or pants pocket.

The W928 is suited for residential and light commercial trade applications where a short, lightweight tape is preferred over a full-size model. The square case design is intentional — it allows the technician to include the case body in the measurement when taking inside dimensions, eliminating the need to mentally compensate for case depth. This makes it practical for tight cabinet openings, rough-in measurements, and close-quarter fitting work common in mechanical trades.

Installation Notes
