The blade measures 3\/8 inches wide and features a yellow finish with L8 graduation markings at 1 mm intervals for clear, easy reading in demanding conditions. The closed steel case is vinyl-clad for durability and finished in black baked enamel with a polyurethane topcoat. Nylon rollers inside the case reduce blade wear during retraction, extending service life under heavy use. A folding hook ring is included for secure anchoring during single-person measurements.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis tape measure is suited for residential and commercial construction, mechanical trades, plumbing rough-in, and HVAC installation where long-run measurements are required.

Inspect the blade for kinks or burrs before use, as damage to a narrow 3\/8 inch blade can cause binding in the case rollers. Avoid overextending the blade beyond its rated length. Store the tape retracted and keep the case away from standing water to prevent corrosion on steel components.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/strong\u003e: 98 feet\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGraduation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1 mm, L8 style\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Closed\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Vinyl-Clad Steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCase Color\u003c\/strong\u003e: Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCoating\/Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e: Baked Enamel, Polyurethane\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBelt Clip\u003c\/strong\u003e: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIncludes\u003c\/strong\u003e: Folding Hook Ring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 0.5 pounds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: STARRETT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 65958\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"STARRETT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51540939407666,"sku":"65958","price":84.01,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/4f363a071505322c0fc75192e6fa32c0.jpg?v=1785866211","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/starrett-65958-tape-measure-98-ft-3-8-inch-yellow-blade","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
