Stanley FMHT33316S Tape Measure 16 Foot

Product Description

The STANLEY FMHT33316S is a 16-foot steel-blade tape measure built for daily use on job sites and in the field. The blade measures 1-1/4 inches wide with 1/16-inch graduation markings printed on a black and yellow finish. A BladeArmor coating on the blade face resists wear, scuffing, and tearing that shortens the life of standard tape measures. The blade extends to an 11-foot standout, letting a single technician or tradesperson take measurements without a second set of hands. The case is steel construction in a high-visibility black and yellow color scheme, and an integrated belt clip keeps the tool accessible during active work.

This tape measure is suited for residential and light commercial applications across multiple trades. HVAC technicians use it for duct layout, equipment clearances, and rough-in dimensions. Electricians reach for it during conduit runs, panel clearances, and box layout. Plumbers and general contractors use it throughout framing, fixture placement, and rough-in work. The 16-foot length covers the majority of interior measurement tasks without excess bulk. The belt clip and compact steel case make it practical for technicians who carry tools on their person rather than in a bag.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Inspect the blade for kinks or cracks before each use, as a damaged blade can give inaccurate readings or snap back unexpectedly. When retracting the blade, control the return speed to prevent blade damage and reduce wear on the BladeArmor coating. Store the tape measure away from moisture to protect the steel blade from corrosion.
