Starrett 30651 Tape Measure 16 Foot 3/4 Inch Blade

Product Description

The STARRETT 30651 is a 16-foot tape measure built for trade professionals who need a reliable, durable measuring tool on the job site. The nylon-coated yellow blade offers twice the abrasion resistance of standard uncoated blades, extending service life under heavy daily use. The blade is 3/4 inch wide with S6 graduation style and 1 mm graduation increments. The case is molded from high-impact-resistant ABS plastic with rubber overmolding for a secure grip. A slide-lock mechanism holds the blade in position during layout work. The included steel belt clip keeps the tool accessible hands-free.

The STARRETT 30651 is suited for residential and commercial construction, mechanical trade work, HVAC equipment installation, plumbing rough-in, and electrical layout tasks. The 7-foot standout length allows single-person measurements across open spans without the blade buckling. The red ABS case with rubber overmolding handles the typical drops and impacts found in active job site environments. This tape is appropriate for any trade professional requiring a compact, accurate measuring tool rated for demanding field conditions.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Inspect the blade for nicks or kinks before use, as blade damage can affect measurement accuracy. Store the tape retracted and avoid dropping the unit onto the blade tip, which can cause permanent bend damage. Replace the unit if the blade coating shows significant peeling that could snag on material edges.
