200 ft engineers tape measure

The Keson FLT18200 is a 200 ft long engineers tape measure designed for surveying, layout and construction tasks that require extended linear measurement. Its fiberglass blade resists stretching and moisture, while the white surface with clear coating keeps graduations readable in bright conditions.

Pawl lock and manual rewind

An open ABS case in black and orange houses the blade, and a pawl lock holds the tape at any position during use. The freewheeling hub with lock allows rapid manual rewind without binding, and the folding hook secures the zero point on edges or stakes.

Folding hook and freewheeling hub

The folding hook engages the zero point for accurate inside or outside readings, and the freewheeling hub with lock lets the user control blade speed when pulling or retracting. No belt clip is included, so the measure is carried by hand or stored in a tool bag.

Questions about this item

How do I attach the folding hook so it reads from the true zero point?

Slide the folding hook over the edge of the material, let it pivot flat, then pull the blade taut; the hook thickness compensates so the zero mark aligns with the inside edge for inside measurements and the outside edge for outside measurements.

What part of the 200 ft fiberglass blade will wear out first and need replacement?

The clear coating on the white blade protects the 1/8 in graduations; once abrasion makes the marks hard to read, the blade itself must be replaced because the coating cannot be reapplied.

Which component limits how fast I can rewind the 200 ft tape during sustained use?

The manual freewheeling hub with pawl lock requires hand cranking; sustained rewinding speed is limited by the operator's turning force and the hub's mechanical gear ratio.
