Apex Tool Group, LLC FE300 tape measure 300

300-foot fiberglass tape reel

The Lufkin FE300 is an open-reel fiberglass tape measure that extends 300 feet for long-distance layout work. Its Hi-Viz orange case is lightweight and designed to protect the blade while remaining easy to spot on a busy job site. A two-material grip and smooth rewind action make repeated use comfortable over a full shift. The folding end hook provides true-zero readings whether pushing or pulling.

Survey crews and concrete teams.

This reel suits professionals who need to measure foundations, fence lines or utility runs in a single span. The open four-arm frame sheds dirt and moisture, so the blade stays clean in muddy or dusty conditions. Workers who only need short interior measurements will find the 300-foot length and reel format cumbersome compared with a compact pocket tape.

300-foot yellow-clad fiberglass blade

The blade is constructed from yellow-clad fiberglass that resists moisture and will not stretch under tension. This material choice determines whether the tape survives wet concrete, rain or humid storage without corrosion or permanent elongation. Buyers who require a steel blade for magnetic attachment or extreme abrasion resistance should select a different model.
