Starrett 30655 Tape Measure 26 Ft 1 in Yellow Blade

Product Description

The STARRETT 30655 is a 26-foot tape measure built for trade professionals who need accurate, durable measuring in the field. The nylon-coated yellow blade delivers twice the abrasion resistance of standard uncoated blades, extending service life in rough job-site conditions. The blade is 1 inch wide with 1/16-inch graduations in the S9 style, making readings fast and clear. The case is molded from high-impact-resistant ABS plastic with rubber overmolding for grip and drop protection. A slide-style blade lock and a 7-foot standout keep the blade rigid during solo measurements. A steel belt clip is included for hands-free carry on the job.

This tape measure suits residential and commercial applications across multiple trades including carpentry, framing, plumbing rough-in, electrical layout, and HVAC ductwork measurement. The 26-foot range covers most standard room spans and structural member lengths without a second tape. The compact red ABS case measures approximately 6.93 inches long by 4.8 inches wide by 2.05 inches tall, making it easy to pocket or clip to a tool belt. Ideal for electricians, plumbers, HVAC technicians, and general contractors working on new construction or remodel projects.

Installation Notes

No installation is required for this hand tool. Inspect the blade and lock mechanism before first use to confirm proper function. Store the tape retracted and avoid exposing the blade to standing water or corrosive chemicals, which can degrade the nylon coating over time. Replace the unit if the blade develops kinks, cracks, or graduation wear that could affect measurement accuracy.
