Keson Industries NRS18100 100 ft 3/8 in tape measure

Long steel tape with automatic return

The Keson NRS18100 is a 100 ft long tape measure designed for linear layout and distance checks. Its 3/8 in wide steel blade carries SAE graduation marks at 1/8 in intervals on a single-sided surface. A non-magnetic single hook anchors at the zero point for consistent readings. The high-visibility orange polycarbonate case houses an automatic blade return that requires no lock.

Survey crews and concrete teams needing quick 100

Builders who pull long measurements alone benefit from the automatic return and bold blade markings. Workers requiring metric graduations or a locking blade should choose a different model. The non-magnetic hook also limits use on steel studs or structural steel where magnetic attachment is expected.

100 ft SAE-only blade with 1/8 in graduations

This tape provides imperial units only, so projects specified in millimetres or centimetres cannot be measured directly. The 3/8 in blade width keeps weight low while maintaining readability across the full 100 ft length. Automatic return speeds repeat measurements but removes the ability to hold the blade at a fixed extension.
