Stanley 33-158 Power Lock Tape Measure 16 Ft

Product Description

The STANLEY 33-158 Power Lock Tape Measure is a 16-foot retractable tape rule built for repeated daily use in trade and field applications. The blade is 3/4 inches wide and covered with a Mylar polyester film that protects the printed markings from abrasion and moisture, keeping graduations legible over the life of the tool. A heat-treated spring drives reliable retraction and holds up to the cycle stress of continuous use on job sites. At 0.52 pounds, the unit is light enough to carry on a tool belt without fatigue.

This tape measure is suited for carpentry, electrical rough-in, plumbing layout, HVAC duct measurement, and general construction tasks where a compact, durable 16-foot rule is needed. The forward-read blade orientation supports standard left-to-right measurement reads. The tool is sold individually and is appropriate for both residential and light commercial work where quick, accurate linear measurement is required.

Compatibility

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Inspect the blade and spring mechanism before use to confirm smooth retraction and legible markings. Store the tape measure away from standing water and extreme heat to preserve blade coating and spring temper. Replace the unit if the blade kinks, the spring fails to retract fully, or graduations become unreadable.
