Starrett 30641 Tape Measure 30 Ft 1-1/16 in Yellow Blade

Product Description

The STARRETT 30641 is a 30-foot steel tape measure designed for layout, measurement, and marking tasks across construction, mechanical, and general trade work. The blade measures 1-1/16 inches wide and features a nylon coating that delivers six times the abrasion resistance of uncoated blades, extending service life in rough jobsite conditions. A positive slide lock holds the blade firmly at any extension. The wider blade provides a 9-foot standout, allowing single-person measurements without a second hand or support. The case is molded from PC-ABS plastic with heavy overmolding for impact resistance. Weight is 1.25 pounds.

The 30641 is suited for residential and light commercial construction, HVAC rough-in, plumbing layout, electrical conduit runs, and general fabrication. The 1/16-inch graduation with S1 graduation style makes it readable for standard trade measurement tasks. The gray ABS case fits standard belt clips, and a black anodized steel belt clip is included, keeping the tool accessible on the job.

Installation Notes

No installation required. Inspect the blade edge and hook before use to confirm squareness of the end hook, as a bent hook introduces consistent measurement error. Store retracted and avoid dropping the case, as ABS housings can crack under repeated impact. Replace the unit if the blade shows kinking, delamination of the nylon coating, or a damaged graduation print.
